Im taking biology, chemistry and Physics at college and self teaching japanese, maths, further maths and english literature and language.

I would like to do Physics at university and hopefully be a secondary/a-level Physics teacher after doing a PGCE :biggrin:
I plan to take maths, further maths, physics and english literature... Not really any clue on what I want to study at university...

I'm taking Further Maths, Maths, Chemistry and Physics for A2, hoping to read Engineering at university, and then on to a career in manufacturing/business management. So far fetched it's a joke though really...

It is, it's a lot of hard work but I have very mediocre GCSE's so I'm trying to make up for it by doing better now :smile:

I only know of one person that took 5AS levels, didn't drop one part way in and still did well. And she was literally one of the smartest people I know. Even she is dropping 2 for A2 though haha

I'm taking Economics, French, Maths and Further Maths (all to A2) and I hope to go into international banking or political economics via an Econ degree at Cam/LSE.
I'm taking English language, English literature, history and Spanish at A Levels, possibly also self-teaching French, and I'm hoping to do either English literature or a joint languages degree at uni and go into teaching:smile:

I'm taking Spanish, Media and Music Tech A levels and a BTEC in performance of popular music.
I hope to work as a singer or sound engineer or in film/tv/radio production.
I haven't decided if I want to go to university yet but if I do, I will probably study something like media production.

I'm doing Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths, Geography and General Studies at A2 and have an AS in Biology. I am hoping to do a Chemistry degree and we'll see where that takes me :smile:
I'm doing Latin, German, English lit and History next year. I was planning to do Ancient Greek instead of History but I got a B so my school wouldn't let me. No idea about careers.

Just thought I'd ask everyone what A levels they plan to take and what career you'd like to do if you get the required grades :biggrin: I'm interested in doing Biology, Chemistry, History and English Literature :smile: Then hopefully going on to do a degree in Veterinary Medicine or Zoology(which there aren't many decent jobs available for in the UK sadly!) :frown:


If that is your plan I advise nottingham as the university for you, its ranked 1st in the UK for this degree, and 1st for landing them type of jobs:smile: my friend is there doing it and did similar a levels to you :smile:
