      Hi katie,

      Well I chose computing over the other sciences. Maybe others on here will be able to give a better idea of choosing one over the others.

      I do like physics though, I like the idea that physics can answer all the questions in the universe. As big as the universe or as small as a sub atomic particle. Where as biology and chemistry only describes a part of it. Though I know Biologists and Chemists that may disagree with this.

      Hi Katy

      When I started my A Levels I preferred Chemistry, but I got on much much better with my physics teacher, and I came to the conclusion that Chemistry and Engineering were just applied physics anyway!

      My main science is human biology, but knowing some physics helps when it comes to adjusting our X-ray and MRI machines.

      Hi Katie,

      I chose to go into Physics because I thought it was fun and interesting to learn how nature works and trying to describe it using mathematical formulas. I also enjoyed doing experiments – on dynamics, electricity, magnetim and light… there was so much to try out! 🙂
