Should I talk about all my subjects in my personal statement?

My a-level subjects are as follows:

Fine art
Business
Mathematics
Further mathematics

(I’m aware this is an odd mix but here we are)

I’m planning on applying through UCAS to art courses only. Majorly fine art, maybe graphic design or illustration also. I assume that I’ll talk about my studies in art a-level but what about the others? Should I mention transferable skills from these subjects in my personal statement or just focus on art as the relevant subject? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks :smile:

‘What do I know about the course and its modules?
Why do I want to study the subject?
What do I like about the subject?
What do I already know?
What have I read, watched or attended that is relevant to the subject?
What excites me about the subject?
What are my academic strengths?
What makes me a good fit for studying this course?’

If your talking about an example in your A Level studies that inspired you to do something further, thats fine. But normally, you dont mention your A Level subjects. Your UCAS application already tells them to the universities.
