what GCSEs/A-LEVELs needed for Architecture ??!!

Hi, I'm year 9 student//
and I'm doing :

Eng
Eng lit
maths (IGCSE, FSMQ)
graphics
religious studies
geography
French
Biology
Chemistry
Physics

next year..


I don't wish to do art// is that okay ??
Also, is Art mandatory to do Architecture in uni ??
I'm doing graphics though///

but for AS/ A2,,, i haven't thought about it (I'm in year 9 !!)
but i wanna do

Maths
Further Maths
Physics
Chemistry or Photography///
(these might change of course ~!!)

no art......
Do you think it's going to be okay ??

Maths and Physics are good. Further Maths I doubt is necessary (that much Maths is useful for other subjects tbh, not Architecture). But Maths is probably essential to A Level.

Art provides good preparation, but you don't *need* it. It would place you in a better position to get offers though and gain the required skills. A bit like Economics is not *needed* for an Economics degree, in a similar way.

I'd change Chemistry or Further Maths to DT, Graphics, Art etc. You don't want a combination of ALL science subjects. A mixture of science and arts subjects is ideal.

A good combination is Maths, Physics, Art, History (drop after AS Level). Then perhaps decide on taking AS Further Maths as well?

Maths
Further Maths- Not necessary though
Physics
Graphics

Perhaps Graphics as it could fit well with the combination above. However instead of Further Maths you could substitute that for English Literature or Chemistry perhaps?

Do you think that,,,, instead of Art, .... graphics would be okay then ??

thanks
but why would i need English Lit ?? can anyone explain to me ???

You're in Year Nine. Really don't worry about it. I'd imagine Maths and sciences are good. Do some google searches if you want for entry requirements. It told me that UCL want ABB and Art A Level. Just try your best with GCSEs and try and get as many As and A*s as you can.

I think Art would be a good idea at A Level. Art at GCSE it's not necessary to go on and do art a level I think.

Really don't think about it. You're waaay too young to. You'll probs change your mind 100 times in the next 4 years before you start uni.

You dont need it but it shows a good contrast between your other subjects. Also English Literature shows off your essay based skills. Look at the prospectus and have a look at what each course entails. I was just giving you an example of an A-level you could pick

thank you !!~~

Yeah, Graphics is ok. So Math, Physics, Graphics, History (drop after AS Level) and AS Further Maths.

Graphics would give you a slight competitive disadvantage, but the AS Further Maths would make up for it (in a way).

I say AS Further Maths because it provides you with opportunity to do some extra Mechanics modules in Maths (when you get to A Level, there are four areas of Maths - pure, stats, mechanics, decision). Mechanics and pure are most useful for Architecture. You could do three mechanics modules that way

thanks LOL

My boyfriend has just got accepted to do architecture at kent and he did Physics at A/s level, and maths, business studies and resistant materials for A2. So you don't have to do art but some drawing based subject (like graphics) would be useful!!!
