Choosing your subjects to study in the Sixth Form

Step 1

Think about the grades you have achieved or expect to achieve at GCSE. Do these fulfil the entry requirements?

Step 2

Which subjects are you interested in? Data shows that students achieve better studying the subjects they have an interest in.

Step 3

Discuss with teachers your potential to study your chosen subject. They can offer you guidance on your grade expectations and other useful information.

Step 4

Think about your career plans and work backwards; which university course will you need? What A Level subjects are needed to study this university course? How many UCAS points will you need for this university course? Which subjects will give you these?
