Degree Guide
What to study with Biology, Chemistry and Physics
Triple science at A-level keeps medicine, dentistry, veterinary science and most science degrees open. See which courses suit this classic combination best.

What these subjects say about you
Triple science is the single most flexible combination for anyone considering a clinical, scientific or medical career — and it's chosen by students who haven't yet narrowed down exactly which science excites them most, which is completely normal at this stage. The key question to ask yourself isn't 'which of these am I best at' so much as 'which of these do I actually want to think about for three more years', since all three lead to genuinely different working lives.
Degrees worth considering
Medicine (MBChB / MBBS)
The most common destination for this combination. Strong grades across all three sciences is exactly what most medical schools want to see.
Dentistry (BDS)
A highly vocational alternative to Medicine for students drawn to direct patient care with a strong manual/technical component.
Veterinary Science (BVSc)
Demands the same rigour as Medicine but applied to animals — a strong fit if Biology is genuinely your favourite of the three.
Natural Sciences (Cambridge)
The best choice if you want to delay specialising — first year covers Physics, Chemistry and Biology before you commit.
Pharmacy (MPharm)
A strong, less hyper-competitive alternative to Medicine that leads into a regulated, in-demand NHS career.
