If you could go back in time and make different choices of subjects to study...?
What would you do differently? Would you pick the same subjects, or do you wish you were able to do other courses?

Because I love law and might do it at uni, liked English Language at GCSE, horrible at Alevels though
Ah I see! Law is very demanding but very rewarding, according to some of the CCCU Law students I know, that is!
I think my GCSE options were perfect for me, as were my degree choices - no regrets on those two.
My AS Level choices were music, English literature, French, and physics. My parents made me do a science, so I chose physics but I wish I'd done something else instead (though the only other viable option in the 'block' of potential subjects that physics feel into, was media studies - which I wasn't too keen on).
I also wish I'd switched to Italian instead of going ahead with French. (I chose French over Italian because my GCSE French teacher was amazing
She left at the end of Year 11 though 
and I naively thought I'd be OK with the new teachers 
)

Honestly, I'm happy with what I picked for university, but I wold have been cautious and probably gone with a foundation year as well since I had reservation bout my university. Probably would have taken a course in media if I was able to, because I've got some interest in film.

I did a film degree! Really interesting stuff and I loved it, but getting into the film industry is notoriously hard even with relevant degrees.
