"If you need to take Maths beyond GCSE but would like a user-friendly course which gives you the Maths you actually need to support your other studies at Paston and beyond, Mathematical Studies is for you. The course concentrates on the practical application of Maths - numbers, calculation and statistics, making full use of IT. "

Universities prefer students not to take it as they like to teach Politics from scratch; more suitable choices are English Literature and History.

I'm not criticising anyone's choices. The only people that will be criticising them are the university.
nah but you spelt A-levels wrong so the whole argument is invalid
Sorry i meant it is not a mickey mouse a level. Wrote degree by mistake.
Guys which combination do you think is better: Chem, bio, english lit and spanish or chem, bio, english lit and maths?

Actually a moderator edited my thread. Clearly they don't understand that they thread wasn't trying to be derogatory in any way.

depends on what you want to do at university; but in general I think it'd be maths over Spanish
