Unusual A level subjects

Hi team!

Anyone done any unusual subjects? There was one chap looking for past papers for Chinese A Level which I also plan to do. I'm considering Environmental Science and Human Biology too which, whilst they're not too unusual in themselves, they're not that available either!

Anyone had chance to do Archaeology? Zoology? Classical Civilization? Ecology? Etc?

Hi! I'm doing Law for A-levels in my college. The subject they offer is kind of limited so there's no unussual subjects so I ended up with accounting and english literature. Wish I could take up Spanish or French. Any idea how to?

i went to a huge 6th form, so we catered for quite a range i think.. media studies, communication studies, business studies, performance studies, theatre studies, law, environmental science, classics.. makes my 3 sciences, english lit. & history look positively boring! :tongue:

The only 'unusual' one at our school is Environmental Science, which isn't really. I don't do wierd subjects, but for some reason the combination of Biololgy, Chemistry, Maths and French is apparently so unusual that the timetable didn't cater for it, and I've got to miss loads of lessons...Doesn't anybody do sciences with a language?!

Music Technology was the most unusual we had. Was hardly any choice at my 6th form.

at my college you can do archeology, classics (actually pretty popular), geology, critical thinking, european studies, electronics, music tech (different to normal music), photography, fine art... actualy pretty much every subject going. i know people who do strange languages as well, but these are normally because it's their native language.

I don't think it's that unusual - but they've introduced a new AS Level at our sixth form: History and Philosophy of Science.

People think I'm mad for doing it... most people are only doing 4 and I'm doing 5 "hard" subjects, and I'm not that good at all of them... doing them coz I like them rather than coz I'm good at them. Hope I will cope!

There's hardly any choice at our 6th form... No unusual subjects, no languages; just the basic package of: English, Sciences, Technology, Drama and Music.

You can't even do a combination of Chemistry with ICT or Technology :confused:
