UCAS form- GCSEs- include syllabus/specification or not?

Hi, I was just wondering whether or not it is required to include the specific syllabus/specification of your GCSE courses on the Education section of the UCAS form
Obviously you list the exam board but does it make any difference if, for example you state AQA 'English Literature' or 'English Literature A'???
Is it preferred to do the latter, or does it really not matter? (I'm a poet etc...)

Thanks in advance.

Probably doesn't matter, but I have.

For example I did Religious Studies B instead of just Religious Studies.

It's always better to be as accurate as you can.

You should put it down if you know it. Make sure you ask your teacher, and if you're applying after completing an AS in the subject check your results slip (or certificate if available) as it will be on there.

I doubt it'd make a huge difference, but like it's been said - if you know it then put it down. It'll be on your results sheet anyway.

Thanks guys :smile:

That's what I thought, it's just I saw some sample applications that didn't include them so I was thrown a bit.
I do know them so I'll definately put them on now.
