Answer #1

You will have to take some math and science because it is necessary for that occupation. You will be using math in medicine doses and measurements and you will need science to understand the effects of various types of meds on subjects.

Answer #2

Yes, the reason for this is because having maths shows that you have some form of logic (which is necessary in figuring out and understanding the human body, also injuries can relate to physics) and you need the sciences to understand the chemistry that you’ll be doing. So I would be extremely surprised and worried if a university do not ask for a student to have maths or science.

Answer #3

Are you talking about in your A levels? In general chemistry is required, biology really should be your second class, and then the schools differ
