Choice Of Subjects

Please remember that you need not take the subject option of which is related to the degree of your choice. Thus you may have a pass in three science based subjects and still opt for a law degree.

However bear in mind that the A Levels is an excellent preparation standard for you and it would benefit you immensely at your degree to gain the knowledge and experience the A Level examinations provide for you. Statistics have proven that students who take the options at their degree level which correspond with their A Level options do better with the preparation. This is why many universities even recommend the A Level programme to mature students even though they have a right of entry direct into the degree programme.

Once you have chosen the core subject[s] which corresponds with your degree, you may find that there are options for you to take non degree related subjects. There are two schools of thought to aid you in this decision. The first is that you do subjects which are complimentary to your degree for example, literature and laws. The other school of thought is for the student to take non related subjects so that you can have a broad based development in the same vein of many who pursue their MBA after their LLB. In today’s world of convergence such cross qualifications make the student more employable. Then again students may simply opt for a subject of their interest or a subject in which they have existing talents in. Take the easy subjects to score for the A Levels is merely a stepping stone. The choice is yours.
