Unusual Subjects - But I still meet requirements

Hi,
Yeah you can definitely still apply. Most geology courses don’t actually require very specific A level combinations, usually they just ask for certain grades and sometimes one science or maths subject. Since you’re doing geology and statistics already that’s actually quite relevant. Law won’t disadvantage you either. Universities are usually more interested in whether you meet the grade requirements and show interest in the subject. Plenty of people apply with a mix of subjects and still get offers. Biology or chemistry can be helpful background knowledge for some parts of geology, but it’s not something you’re expected to already know everything about. First year normally covers the fundamentals anyway so everyone starts from a similar level. If geology is what you want to study, your subject combination shouldn’t stop you applying at all. It might just be worth checking the specific entry requirements for the universities you’re interested in, just to make sure you meet them.

Student rep

I am studying A level - Law, Geology and Statistics.
I want to study geology at university but one of my subjects is law.
I cannot change it now. My question is : As long as I meet the requirements can I still apply? And wouldnt I be at a disadvantage compared to students doing different subjects, e.g Biology, Chemistry

If u meet the entry requirements for example, one science subject, yes u can still apply
Also as long as ur subjects are accepted by the uni they won’t pick favourites over whose done what subjects
Ik someone’s whose applied to the same course as me at the same time i do boi, chem & psych and she does btechs but we both got offered a place on the same course around the same week
Honestly ensure u research the degree incase u have an interview and make sure you’ve done the right work experience so u can strengthen ur personal statement and shine out from other applicants

Oh okay thank you!
My main issue is finding like relevant work experience because there aren't many opportunities near me, and if i did find one it would be one hour away. So, does it have to be completely relevant?
