Cambridge - hard, medium or soft subjects

Hi everyone!

Can anyone give me the link of Cambridge University where they make a list of hard, medium and soft subjects at A Level and put them in groups? I think that they have it as group A, B or C but I'm not certain. I've tried searching their site but can't find this list. .

Your help would be appreciated - Thanks in advance.

They state that the following subjects provide a less effective preparation for their courses, but it should only be a real problem if you have 2 or more from the list below. (There are of course exceptions, eg. Art and Design for Architecture applicants, Design and Technology for Engineering applicants etc.)

If you're doing A-levels, you may want to avoid the following:


There's a different list for IB students though.

It's a Trinity College only list, Cambridge doensn't have such a blanket policy, only a small list of subjects they believe you should only take one of, which is here:

* Accounting
* Art and Design (see also Architecture)
* Business Studies (see also Economics)
* Communication Studies
* Dance
* Design and Technology (see also Engineering)
* Drama/Theatre Studies
* Film Studies
* Health and Social Care
* Home Economics



* Information and Communication Technology
* Leisure Studies
* Media Studies
* Music Technology
* Performance Studies
* Performing Arts
* Photography
* Physical Education
* Sports Studies
* Travel and Tourism


It is also true that there are plenty of people here who took one of that list.

Thank you. .

Most of my courses are in list 1B is that okay? For example, I'm studying Law, Government and Politics, English Language and Psychology. Also in List A2 I'm studying English Literature.

Any combination of those subjects would be fine unless you were applying to Trinity.

Should be fine for English, Law, SPS (not PPE...though I think its name changed recently) or something like that.

Social and Political Sciences or Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
Cambridge do the first one, Oxford the second

So yes is the answer.

Thank you. .

Does Social and Politcal Sciences include courses like Psychology?
