Should I do biology chemistry English lit/lang or Biology chemistry Dt product design. For neuroscience does it matter which one I choose out of English and dt?

Doesn’t really matter, but based off of the work load from bio chem, I’d suggest taking DT, as it is less work heavy. I do both bio chem and I do wish I’d taken a less intensive 3rd a lvl, but it’s not too big of a deal as long as you can manage your time effectively and keep up with the work. And I personally feel like doing 2 stem based subjects, and then a difficult essay based subject wouldn’t be a great combo.

I find English quite easy so it’s not that much of an issue for me, it’s just more is dt a better fit or English? I’m not sure if dt is even valued in any good university’s as it’s “not traditional” as so they say

It'll make no difference unless you're likely to get a better grade in one over the other. Both have a high workload as dt is coursework heavy and that'll take up a lot of your time but English lit has a load of essays and content which you need to master. It's worth checking if dt is non-prefered by any unis you had in mind specifically but I doubt it.

I don't think it should matter, but I think english literature seems to be a more respected level compared to DT, but that entirely depends on eaht uni you're applying to, so it's best to check unis you're interested in.
