Sixth forms and colleges usually require students to have at least 5 GCSEs at grades A*-C, sometimes including English Language and Maths (although that may have changed due to the new grading system), and universities usually expect applicants to have passes in at least Maths, English and Science. Many students take a combination of languages, humanities (e.g. RE, Geography or History), and/or art subjects in addition to the compulsory Maths, English and Science :smile:
