Are you planning to go to university? If you are, do you have any ideas on what degree you'd like to study?

If you know what degree you'd like to do, you can look at entry requirements for it and see if there are any required or preferred A Level subjects, and choose your subjects based on them.

If not, which subjects have to enjoyed so far, or think you would enjoy at A Level if you haven't studied them before? It's also good idea to choose at least one or two 'facilitating' subjects, to give you a bigger choice of possible degrees. Facilitating subjects include maths, biology, chemistry, physics, history, geography, English literature and modern languages.
