If you struggle with Maths you may well struggle studying medicine! Without, at the very minimum, a decent maths GCSE grade you will probably not get in. Chemistry is absolutely essential; without chemistry you will find it very difficult to get a place to read medicine. Biology is very sensible, though there are some places that do not require it. Physics at A Level is harder than biology, and so it is probably looked upon more favourably by universities. History or French will only be useful in the sense of displaying the fact that you are a candidate that has studied a broad range of subjects. The Student Room has a good post about getting in to read medicine.

Hi,
I really want to go into medicine at uni and I will soon be starting my A levels but I really DO NOT want to study maths because I think i might struggle, so would you say Biology, Chemistry, Physics and maybe History or French would be a good combination?

Thanks

Generally, universities prefer physics over geography. For medicine, definitely so.

Hi, I’m thinking of studying Medicine. I’m definitely doing Biology, Chemistry and Maths for A level, but I can’t decide between Physics or Geography for the fourth option. I know that Physics is a science, but would Unis prefer it to Geography by a lot? My geo teacher says that an ‘essay subject’ would be helpful, but my physics teacher says that physics would be more related! Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

A good combination for what? It depends on what you want to study.

Is Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Music a good combination, or would English lit be better than music? Or would the Music not make such a difference to my Uni chances?
