      I studied in Ireland so I got to study all three for the equivalent GCSE level, before focusing on Chemistry and Physics at A-Levels. When I went to university, I studied physics which lead onto different areas of physics that included some chemistry lessons too.

      Although I work in IT, a lot of the interesting problems eventually end up in the physics space. Things like the speed of light are limits that I have to workaround (it’s not as fast as you think it is!) to come up with solutions to the problems that I’m asked to solve. Ironic really as I spent all my time at university studying Chemistry!

    When you apply to university to study to be a vet you need to have several science A levels – each vet university is slightly different as to what they ask for, but most want you to have Biology, Chemistry and perhaps either Maths or Physics. Once you’re at vet university, you combine biology and chemistry when studying biochemistry, use chemistry to study pharmacology (how medicines work) biology to understand physiology, anatomy and pathology (what goes wrong when the animal is unwell), physics to understand imaging (X Ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound).
