what opportunities could this get me?

at A level i’m planning on doing maths, biology, chemistry and computing.
I’m interested in medicine and other healthcare roles but as more of a backup i’m interested in cyber security and computer science fields
am i planning the right a levels and is there anything i should do or consider??

Chemistry is the ultimate a level necessary but I agree that biology and maths are the perfect subjects to fit with it, These subjects will definitely be great for a career in healthcare however you might want to check with your teachers about taking a fourth A-level as you don't want to be stretched out too thinly that the grades are affected. As I see it, Universities mostly care about the first 3 A-levels and if the results are good. However if you think it is still manageable, go for it!

remember that most Medschools will be looking for all A's and even some A*

im doing that exact combo. i think its fine really, sometimes im a bit annoyed i dont have extra frees like my other mates but its not a big deal. do bare in mind i find maths to be easier than others and computer science a level is compsci gcse + coursework (ive done gcse compsci and coding isnt that hard for me). the combo may be harder for you.
im doing medicine. if you are trying to keep both medicine and compsci options well open, consider further maths instead of compsci. according to my compsci friends unis value maths/further/physics more than normal compsci. but you can still get into many compsci courses with compsci a level

You dont need comp sci a level to study comp sci at uni, just maths and maybe fm for top unis. Learning to code is the best thing to do i think if youre aiming for comp sci as an option. Doing 4 a levels for med isnt advised because you’ll have to do ucat and interview prep, volunteering, work experience, supercurriculars etc to make yourself a competitive applicant and med schools require top grades. If i were you id stick with chem, bio and maths but this is obviously your choice 🙂

thank you so much for your reply, i think you might have the answer. what do you think about me doing maths, bio and chem at my sixth form the independently studying further maths and sitting the exam?

Hi Djsimpson1_,
Those are solid options for both Medicine, Cyber Security & Computer Science. In general, for medicine you would study the following:
& for Cyber Security & Computer Science, you would pick the following:

Computer Science & Cyber Security doesn't really have any specific A Level requirements, but people usually go for these.
Your options are solid & I think you would be just fine with your selection.

thanks so much for the response! what would you think about doing maths, biology and chemistry, then teaching myself further maths at home? (then sitting the exam as a private candidate)
