Re: What A Levels are you taking, and what University Course do you want to do?I want to do economics
But didn't know I wanted to do it when I picked my choices so...
Further Maths
Maths
Chemistry
Biology
Will take economics in gap yr (I'm taking a gap yr anyway so I might as well do the A level in it, as I will enjoy it and it is preferred by some unis)Last edited by Tomatochuckers; 22-12-2011 at 15:36. -

Re: What A Levels are you taking, and what University Course do you want to do?Admittedly, I was thinking of doing medicine when I chose my subjects due to family influence and me thinking it was a stable career. But I began hating the idea of it. I then spent time looking into other degrees with good prospects such as economics, pharmacy, etc. I liked econ and did loads of extra reading on it.(Original post by liverpool_x)

Re: What A Levels are you taking, and what University Course do you want to do?Heyy(Original post by Kalliope)
I'm doing English Lit, History, Philosophy & Ethics and Biology, and I'm 100% sure I want to do English at University
How did you choose a Degree?
Job prospects or because you like English? -

Medicine is 100% my "choice"
But I dunno if my reasons are right...
I wanna do Medicine to help people, and apply my Science knowledge (I've been learning science all my school life and it's the only thing thats interesting to me) -

Up until Year 11, I'd been dead set on Medicine, then spent the duration of Yr. 11 thinking about PPE or an equivalent. Now it wanders between Chemistry to Philosophy with something, to Maths.... The list never ends! D:
Good luck to you too, though.

Re: What A Levels are you taking, and what University Course do you want to do?Physics is definitely easier than chem, just to give you a heads up! It's not very mathematical (at a level!!)!(Original post by liverpool_x)

Heyy

It would be a little foolish to pick English if I was going for job prospects
Nah, English has been my favourite subject all the way through school (cliché but true) and I adore reading classics (and really geeky stuff, like literary theory), and especially can't wait to study older literature than I'm come into contact with at school. I've never really thought about doing anything else really - I'm lucky, even at GCSE I enjoyed all my subjects, but it's English that really excites and interests me.
