What uni course do my subjects suit the most?

I’m in S5 studying my highers in Scotland, doing English, maths, French, art & design, and classical studies.
I was wondering what courses best suit what I study currently, and would give me the best chance of an offer? I still have another year in school where I’ll choose advanced higher English and some others, more specific into what I decide to apply for.
Thank you!!

Your subjects sound quite exciting. Based on your interest in English, maybe an English Literature degree may be something you'd enjoy, and routes you could take afterwards may be teaching, professorship, post grad, etc. If you like languages, pursuing French and possibly other languages could open routes like diplomatic translation, etc. Classical studies would go well with a humanities degree; maybe in S6 you could look into doing Higher History/Philosophy/Geography and pursuing a degree in one of these later. If you prefer Art, maybe doing AH Art and going to a school for art may be enjoyable for you - I hear Glasgow has a great course!
Overall, your options sound cool, you have plenty of time to decide what you'd like to do. These are just some options based on your subjects :smile:
