A level choices

I’m taking Geography Politics and History and am kind of concerned whether these a levels are a good fit for Urban Planning & Design?

That's probably as "relevant" as you can get for that area?

I don't think planning and related degrees usually require or expect any specific background anyway.

just the fear of lacking creative elements, I don’t want to have a life of writing planning permissions😭

I mean I think a lot of urban planning is that? Or designing like. Intersections and plots for new homebuilding ventures. It's not architecture for example as far as I'm aware...?

If you're more interested in the creative design area, you may want to look into doing a FAD course during a gap year and potentially applying to an architecture degree or similar :smile:

Id double check the courses on unis websites to see if they specify any particular subjects.
If they dont, then pick which ones you like best and are likely to get the best grades in.
