At GCSE I did maths, English, biology, chemistry, physics, french and geography.
A Levels: I did maths, biology and chemistry. I also did the “extended project qualification” which is basically a very long essay on a topic of your choosing, which I found very fun!I used this to apply for a degree in biology at the University of Manchester.

GCE level in Maths, Science, Engineering, History, Geography and English.
Note it was not GCSE. My study was well before GCSE’s. 1963 was a long time ago. -

I went to school in Scotland… there you study more subjects to get into University than in England. In my final year at school, S5 as we call it in Scotland, I studied English, History, Maths, Chemistry and Physics at Higher and Engineering Drawing at O grade (which is normally a two year course and I did it in one).

I studied a fair spread of different subjects during my GCSEs as I really didn’t know what I wanted to do when I grew up (which at that point is certainly normal now I realise! 😀 )
But for GCSEs I did Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English (Literature), English (Language), Economics, IT, Drama and Fine Art.
When I reached my AS and A-Levels I knew I really enjoyed the sciences so I did Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathmatics (Mechanics)… although I dropped Maths after my AS!
I didn’t manage to University straight away so I also went back to college for 1 year after my A-Levels to do a compressed A-Level in Art during my year off (was lovely to do after studying maths and science for 2 years!).

In school, I did English, French, biology, chemistry, physics, maths, history (with geography), philosophy, and some extra subjects for fun (like music and drama).
At university, I did an undergraduate degree in biological sciences (with a lot of palaeontology and environmental science) and then a PhD in medical molecular biology and biochemistry.

I went to school in Ireland, so I sat the Leaving Certificate in my last year of school but I think it’s roughly equivalent to A levels? I studied English, Irish, Maths, French, Biology, Chemistry and Physics
At university I went into a general science degree and then specialised in genetics for the second half

GCSE – as much as possible! I did separate science GCSEs though so there wasn’t as much space for choice.
A-levels – maths, further maths, physics, graphic design, and general studies. Which sounds a lot, but the maths and physics went really well together, and I didn’t have to attend lessons for general studies. The design A-level was incredibly useful, but also gave me a bit of a break from maths each week. -
Pam Harrison answered on 13 Feb 2024:
I have A level Maths, Chemistry and IT and AS levels in Art, Graphics and Biology – I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do!
I then went to University to get an MChem in Chemistry, biological and medicinal chemistry.

So, I grew up in Portugal – the good thing about it is that we do not have GCSE over there; the bad is that we have national exams, so we all need to do them – so I did biology and geology, physics and chemistry, mathematics and Portuguese.
I went to university to do a degree in Nuclear Medicine, I did my Masters in Molecular Imaging and now I am doing my PhD in a specific type of cancer. -
Marianne Morris answered on 16 Feb 2024:
GCSEs in Double Science, Maths, English Language, English Lit, French, Geography, Drama, Art & PE
AS Levels in Physics, Maths, Biology & PE
A Levels in Physics, Maths & Biology
I really miss Biology, it was a tricky choice between Biology and Physics when I went to university

I studied history, english, maths, physics with chemistry and biology as well as english law.at O level/GCE and maths, chemistry and biology at A level.
I then studied for a HND in Applied Biology, because my results were not very good and did a part time degree in Microbiology.

I went to high school in Scotland so did National 5’s and Highers.
For National 5’s, I did: Maths, English, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, French, History and Art (we had to choose 8 Nat 5’s back then!)
For my Highers, I did: Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry and Geography
And then I did Advanced Maths, Biology and Chemistry in S6 although I didn’t need these to get into uni.
