Hi @Raazidha,

As mentioned above by @Bernadette12365, GCSEs are a secondary school qualification, and are below the A-Level qualifications. There are three core subjects: English, Maths and Sciences. Depending on the college you attend they can offer an array of other additional subjects such as: Spanish, French, History, Economics, Geography, Psychology and many more. Students can take as few as seven subjects and as many at 12.

Although your A-Level subjects are what typically determine which University courses you choose to enrol, it's recommended that students' take GCSE subjects that align with their future career aspirations.

Hope this helps,
Danish
