What degree could I get with Biology, Geography, Psychology A-levels?

I'm taking A-levels next year and I was debating what sort of degree I could get in university (may be a bit early, but it's never too late!)
I specifically chose those 3 subjects because they give a wide range (unlike, let's say FM, maths and physics)
My favourite out of the 3 is psychology

Well, those A levels would lend themselves to a Psychology degree, which you say is your favourite A level. Does that hold any interest for you?

Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Zoology, Animal Conservation, Environmental Science, Geography
International Development, Marine Biology, Ocean Science, Meteorology etc etc. Plus a whole range of social science and humanities subjects like Anthropology, Philosophy, Sociology, Law etc.

Geography is a very useful A level subject as many Universities count it as both a science subject and a social science. It can often be counted as a 'second science' subject if this is required for degrees like Psychology.

Have a look at some University course descriptions, and check the 'entry requirements' to see which A level subjects are required or preferred. Examples :
Undergraduate subject areas - University of Birmingham
Courses and degree subject areas - University of Plymouth

Yes, I was considering a psychology degree, but I want to find more options, like a degree that mixes both geography and psychology?

Thank you!

Have you looked at Human Geography or Anthropology? There also are joint honours degrees which may be of interest, like Psychology and Anthropology, or Geography and Psychology.

Hey there,

It's never too early to start thinking about university!

As has been stated previously, many universities offer both single honours and combined honours courses that involve either Biology, Geography or Psychology, or combination of two or more of these!

Liverpool Hope, while not combining Biology or Geography with our strong Psychology (which includes modules on Biopsychology) course, there are courses ranging from Human Geography and Conservation Biology to Environmental Geography in our Undergraduate courses.

Really, what I'm getting at is looking around across universities, UCAS and so on to see what suits you best is a great thing to be doing so early on - so keep it up!

All the best wishes and regards for the future!
