ANy career in the NHS nearly you'd do your degree and then pick your specialisation units etc.

For example I want to be a paediatrician in a hospital, so I have to do the degree and then specialise after I believe

haha sounds great! I chose economics too, sounds interesting

I'd hope someone taking a medical space becomes a doctor

You could specialise in.something non surgical though

Okay thanks for the help

Doing Physics will open up a lot of opportunities in Engineering.

Definitely not! Potentially having someone else's life in my hands is particularly daunting, so ill pass!

Has there been any news on when the AQA/Edexcel grade boundaries are to be released?

Oh that's great The only problem is i don't want to be a doctor, dentist or a nurse

Fair enough....

What subject is your favorite?

yeah i was told not to do economics because boys generally do better at it but im still doing it.

???? surgeon ?

By Colleges I mean places that offer A-Levels and Levle 3 qualifications, which at the moment judge applicants by whether they had got 5A*-Cs including Maths and English( my college is slack and says you only need one of Maths and English) and they also judge you on individual subject grades for entry to certain emails but in the future they will probably be using the new statistic on whether they have got an English Baccalaureate.At the moment, universities are not too bothered by the Baccalaureate but in the future they will be and this is reflected by the new inclusion of Computer Science in the Baccalaureate in the future, to reflect the urgent need for Computing in today's society and even more so the future.By taking the Baccalaureate, you are ensuring that you are not disadvantaging yourself by possibly not being able to meet the needs of future universities .

I highly doubt that. They can't just change the requirements for people who've already done GCSEs.

that last bit won't be true .. they will accommodate for when you took your GCSE's etc .. because of Gove's plan to scrap grades A* A B etc and have 1 2 3 4 etc.

so employers will have to take into account and about that computer science part they would probably make people sit like entrance exam or make them do it on the side of the course

( at least that's my logical plan... but nobody is saying Michael Gove is logical)

Well hopefully Gove will be gone in 2015! I'm certainly not going to vote for him.

What is the voting age??
