Hey @molly.mayy,

Biology, Geography and History is a good mix of STEM and essay-based subjects; however, whether or not it's a good combination depends on what you intend to do with your A-Levels. Do you have any specific career aspirations?

If you want to study at university, Biology, Geography and History are quite a broad range of subjects, so you could pursue a wide number of degrees depending on your interests. You could consider a degree along the lines of Environmental Science, Anthropology or Geology/Earth Science if you were interested in a field which combined all three subjects. Alternatively, you could pursue a degree focusing on just one e.g. a degree in Geography or History. Furthermore, subjects such as Law and other social science/humanity-based degrees would also be open to you (depending on the grades you ultimately achieve).

Hope this was helpful,
Eve (Kingston Rep).

You seem to looking down the wrong end of the telescope here.
Most people think about what they might do as a Uni subject / apprenticeship / career etc and see what they need to achieve this, not the other way around.

Good careers website with 100s of job /careers descriptions - Job profiles | Prospects.ac.uk
Check the required A level subjects for any course that sounds interesting - Undergraduate Courses, Degrees : Study : University of Sussex
Apprenticeship search - Search apprenticeship – Find an apprenticeship – GOV.UK
