Careers and alevels

Im not sure what i want to do in the future but I know that I really like learning about atoms and elementary particles; I also like learning about space, radiation and organic chemistry (I know they dont link that much but I just thought I should mention it)

I was planning on doing maths chemistry and history alevel but should I switch history to physics?
What kind of careers could i pursue with chem maths and physics

Hi, if you love atoms, particles, space etc. switching from history to physics makes sense, it aligns with your interests and keeps your options open.
With Maths + Chemistry + Physics, you could pursue careers in:

Engineering (mechanical, chemical, aerospace)

Physics research

Chemistry/ pharmaceutical research

To name a few.

I think physics would be a great choice based on your interests, do you enjoy physics gcse? With maths, chem and physics you can do most physical science degrees, other than those which prefer or require fm (usually top unis and only for competitive courses like engineering)

Thank you for replying. Did you a-levels similar to this? If so, how did you find it? Im worried that picking two sciences and maths will be too hard for me.

It might be a good idea to go from "history to physics" if you like learning about atoms, particles, space, and radiation. Math, chemistry, and physics all function well together. Careers in physics, chemistry, engineering, astrophysics, or scientific research may result from them. Choose the subjects you are most interested in because you will typically perform better in them.

Thanks for replying, have you done a levels similar to these because I am worried that doing two science and maths are hard.
