Career choices involving Art & Science

[clb2103]

Hello,
My daughter would like to study A level biology & chemistry and Art. she'd like to do medicine but doesnt want to do A level Maths. What career choices can you think of and recommend? thank you 😁

Art therapy, biomedical engineering, medical illustration.

Tattoo artist 😂

Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, radiology, chiropractor, EMT, pharmacist, nursing?
If she wants something artistic but sciencey then architecture, graphic design?

Art conservation

M dentist told me recently that his A level in Art proved very useful for his training, giving him an advantage over other students who didn't have the same fine motor skills and sense for colour and aesthetics- made sense to me!

She doesn’t need to do maths to do medicine

thank you for great suggestions, i'm making a list to show her options 😁

When i was at school a hundred years ago, my friend's dad was head of restoration at the National Gallery and he had a chemistry degree - the perfect combination of art and science really!

A level requirements are a lot more flexible for medicine than they used to be. Back in my day it was pretty much Chemistry plus 2 out of maths, physics and biology but I know of quite a few young people who have gone to medical school with less conventional A level choices in recent years. I'm not sure how art would be received but it is worth making enquiries if she's keen. Maths has never been essential to my knowledge.

Look at something like Architecture and Landscape at Sheffield university. Or just Landscape Architecture. Landscape includes environment and that could be interesting. No maths isn’t ideal and most engineering courses will want it. They aren’t very arty either. Environmental science might interest her.

My DD did an Art A level and it’s hard work, it can also be quite broad.

I did art and biology, studied a social science at university and now work in real estate development!

Prosthetics. Special effects in film

A friend studied biology and art textiles and got a job at Speedo designing new fabrics.

Museum curator, but at a science-related institution eg the Science Museum, The Wellcome Collection or The Crick Institute

Medical illustration.
botanical illustration.

Some jobs suggested are very niche! Nor likely to provide much of an income.
