What are you studying for AS/ A levels

Year 11's are officially leaving school with their proms - well that's kinda informal, but its the last huge gathering, and i'm just wondering what people decided to study at AS and A levels.

Current year 10's are also beginning to write their personal statements. What do you guys want to study and become?

Hey, i'm in year 12 and will be applying for architecture this year! I study art, maths, history and product design (DT)! Depending on the university you want to go to, there will be specific subject requirements for A level. Some universities require maths for architecture whilst others require art/DT (Art is usually preferred over DT). Having said that, what you choose is up to you, however, I recommend you taking art because you will be able to gather parts of your portfolio in your art lessons and stuff.

Of course it is entirely up to you what you choose but above are just suggestions :smile:

I just hope my GCSEs were alright
Are you still waiting for your GCSE results? I remember you telling me that you had just finished AS.

P.S: Maybe you mean your GCSE's are alright to get in to university, is that what you meant?

Sorry for bothering you btw :redface:, I was just curious :tongue:

I doubt a school would let you... but then again my school let me do 5 last year for a few months but i think thats cause i was self teaching one of them and so they didn't really realise i was doing that many...

Hoping to study Psychology, Graphic Design, Creative Writing and Maths in September - I've just chosen subjects I love or think sound fun, to be honest (apart from Maths; I can do it but I'm only really taking it for my Granddad.)

At the moment, I wanna go on to study Psychology at University and become a Clinical Psychologist :smile:

Wow! Good luck to you, its going to be a hard journey. I might have entered the health sector if i didn't dislike the insides of people.

Neurosurgeon reminds me of an anime called 'Monster'. Pretty well known and good, and no its not about Frankenstein if any of u guys are thinking so, anyway, enough rambling.
