Subject combination isssue

I live in Nigeria and need to do A-Levels. I'm new to all this so my question might not be done well. I need to pick subjects but the A-Level school which i had gone to said I need physics to do motion graphics there. But I have never done physics and cannot/refuse to back to senior secondary school. But in UK universities I need in general I think, I need math, an art subject and a certain proficiency in english(in my case i already have that) these were the 3 main subjects I saw during my research and am really torn and confused, how do I convince I need these subjects for that a level course, am I able to do that, pick the subjects I'll study there, they aren't really giving me much option, just a course ro study there at A-Levels and that I need physics ro do it. Could someone help clear this up for me, whether I would need to go to find another A-Level school?

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown: Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile: Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

Hey @Fashii!

Which specific universities/courses in the UK interest you most? Have you looked at their entry requirements?

Whilst Physics is useful for lots of fields of study, it may not necessarily be a subject requirement for the university courses you're looking at. If you're interested in studying Motion Graphics at Nottingham Trent, for example, the main requirement is a portfolio of work (+112 UCAS points). Brunel University of London's Visual Effects and Motion Graphics BSc has no specific subject requirements (AAB-BBB). In these cases, which subjects you choose aren't as important as how well you do in them.

Which A-Level subjects are currently available to you? If you want A-Level Maths and an art-related subject, are there any other art-related subjects you could take?

Hope this helps,
Eve (Kingston Rep).
