Choosing the right A level subjects


Choosing the right A level subjects can feel really tough, but if you are methodical, take your time, and ask lots of questions you will find the combination which is right for you. There are over 40 subjects available at A level, and even though it’s unlikely that your sixth form offers that many, you will still have a lot of choice. CIFE colleges have a particularly wide range of A level subjects available, often with no restriction on subject combinations.

A level subjects range from ones you’ve probably already met at GCSE to ones which sound interesting but which you may not know much about. Don't assume that GCSE subjects will be pretty much the same at A level, or that 'interesting' subjects will be what you expect. In both cases, do your research carefully!

The three sections which follow describe how to approach the business of finding the right subject combination. Our site page 'FAQs about A-level choice' deals with the questions students most often ask, from basics such as 'How many subjects should I take?' to tricky questions such as ‘Are some subjects better for university entrance?’ and 'I can’t take the subject mix I want. What should I do?'
