Hi exit393egg,

To be an astronaut you can have a degree in any field of science like chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, engineering and so on. I believe the choice of university will depend on the subject you choose to specialise. Once you obtain a degree you will need few years work experience before you apply to train to be an astronaut.

You can have a look at the following links that have some useful information for future astronauts like you:
1. https://www.ucas.com/ucas/after-gcses/find-career-ideas/explore-jobs/job-profile/astronaut
2. https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/astronaut

I hope this helps 🙂
