What degrees- unsure

What degrees could i do with my a levels - biology psychology economics
Im unsure what i want to study
Most humanities or social science courses, some bioscience aligned courses for direct entry, most STEM courses otherwise with a foundation year.

You really aren't limited subjectwise so you do need to do a little soul searching to figure out what you want to study :redface:

What is it you like about your current subjects? What is it you don't like? Don't think just in terms of topics (although that is also a relevant consideration), also think about how they are taught, how they are assessed - do you like writing essays vs lab reports, do you like doing data analysis vs readings, do you lab work or fieldwork, etc. This can help you narrow down things and also possibly lead you to options you hadn't considered before that might be a good fit :smile:
You could be studying it for multiple years and end up working in that area, so is there anything you really want to do with the degree? You don't always have to do the obvious degree to get into some careers as there are multiple routes.

As above, looking into whether it is essays/exams and how it's taught can make such a difference. Personally, I HATED exams so went essay based and it was a lot easier in the long run. Some courses look the same on a website but always check the assessment types! 🙂
