does anyone know which subjects that you have take if you are interested in taking marine biology as a degree. thanx.

I would guess, with current lax University entry standards, that you could probably get away with just biology. To be sure, I'd add at least an AS-Level in Chemistry and Maths (statistical for preference).

Take a look here, http://www.sos.bangor.ac.uk/ it may help

The best thing to do is get hold of prospectuses from universities that do the course you want, and see what they ask for. And talk to your school careers officer - they should know, or be able to find out.

Thing is, you should generally do A Level subjects you enjoy, as if you have to do a subject you hate to get into a particular degree, chances are you'll hate the degree too.

sciences which can include environmental science and maths

the education system has changed a lot though since I did my marine biology degree, so I may not have the best option anymore. I recommend biology and chemistry and the other science depends on your strengths or the prospectus.

Which uni are you trying for?

Oooo, also these days especially computer science of some kind, I did an AS in it and an AS in statistics, be careful of ASs though, not all uni's have an enlightened attitude towards them

ring you nearest university and ask! Don't muck about with your future you will be spending four times as long there as you spent in your past.
