    Have a look at the list of degrees on the Teaching Council website and see what's available.

    If you did undenominated science degree & brought both subjects to 3rd year & one to 4th year, it should work out fine.

    It would need some planning.

    I wish I knew how to do it 12 years ago but this is how to do it assuming undenoninated science still works the same way 12 years later.

    1st year: do Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths
    2nd year, do Chemistry & two biological subjects (biochemistry, anatomy)
    3rd year: chemistry & one biological subject
    4th year: Chemistry.

    This would leave you with the following:
    39.6% of your degree in chemistry.
    35.4% of your degree in biology.

    This more than satisfies the 30% lower limit the teaching council put in how much if a subject needs to be in your degree in order to teach it.

    Hope this helps.

    PS. That's your 4 year science degree, then you have to do your PGDE.
