A levels subjects decision

Hi everyone.
I've been having a hard time choosing my subjects for A levels.
The career advisor of my school told me it'll be better to study Computer science, Mathematics and ICT instead of Computer science, Mathematics and Physics.
I'm not sure what to choose between ICT and Physics.
Please which one do you think pairs well with Computer science? Is there anyone who studied ICT in A levels and gained from it?

I haven't taken either computer science nor ICT A levels, but I imagine that they have quite a few similarities between them. If you plan to go to uni, this could be a bit of a problem if they only see both CS and ICT as one A level (similar to how some unis consider maths and further maths as one A level). And why have you been told that it would be better to study ICT over physics? Is it because you didn't do as well in physics compared to other subjects? If it is, then it might be worth thinking about taking something else (maybe ICT but could also be any subject, depending on what you want to do after sixth form).

Assuming you're alright at it and could find it interesting, I think Physics is a better option here. It depends a bit on what you want to do after A levels though.
Let's think about the possible degree options. Doing ICT, which probably has a bit of overlap with Computer Science, you are focusing in your knowledge on computer systems quite heavily, and don't leave many doors open for you. As a matter of fact, you don't even need Computer Science A level, let alone ICT, to do a Computer Science degree. Doing physics will keep open a few other degrees in science or engineering that might be worth keeping open if you don't know what you want to do yet or want to keep some options open.

I plan on doing a degree apprenticeship after college.
Thanks a lot for the reply.

I had not written GCSEs at that time so I think she thought Physics might be too difficult for me. I got 7-6 in combined science which I think is quite okay. I'm not sure I will go to uni, I'm thinking of doing a degree apprenticeship instead. Thank you for the reply tho, it's really helpful.

Physics is a tough subject, and a 7-6 in combined science might not be the best foundation to do well in it. You may be better off picking what you think you'll do best in, but obviously this isn't the only factor to take into account.

Do you know in what area?

I haven't decided yet but something relating to computer science

What did you get in computer science GCSE?

Personally I think computer science, maths and physics is a better combo since it keeps more options open for university.

Hi I would say go for physics! As it’s different to computer science and still goes well with it! This means it will lead to more opportunities and it can be facilitating too! What did you end up choosing?
