Is there a specific passion or interest you have?

It's called informed choices
Unfortunately it doesn't have an option for criminology but you can choose a similar subject like sociology

I wanted to follow forensic science but I have strayed away from it due to the low pay and high competition

Degrees like biochemistry, biological sciences and biomedical sciences are kind of similar if you want a more science focused degree

Hi there!
So what stands out to me from your A-level choices is Biology and Maths. Kingston offer Biological Sciences (which I did as my undergrad) which requires 2 A-Levels, with one being biology. See more here: https://www.kingston.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/biological-sciences-bsc-hons
Maths in considered as science A-level, so essentially having 2 Science A-Levels are useful because you can go into a lot of life sciences degrees with it.
Is there anything you are looking at specifically?
Kind regards, Jenifer (kingston rep)

Biological sciences might be interesting as the only real criteria I have is something biology related and is very hands on

Law is very interesting and has no subject requirements. Look into it and see if you’d enjoy it : )

Good Morning!
One thing I would like to add - please do not limit yourself! If there is something that captures your attention but you don't have the correct A-Level combination then consider maybe doing a foundation year - Kingston offer these too!

That because Criminology isn't an A level - its a dodgy Welsh Exam board 'Applied Diploma' with limited academic credibility. I would agree that an A level in Sociology, which includes topics about deviancy, criminal justice etc, would be a far safer option.
