What does everyone think of these A-Levels

[The Don]

Right, recently I've dropped out of my college because I hated the a levels I was doing and i disliked the teachers. (they didn't really help you). And in september I will be entering education again. What do you all think of these A-Levels:
+Computing
+Graphics
+ICT (Applied)
+Photography

What do you think of these choices? and in graphics, is that just photoshop because i'm not very good at drawing and don't want to do it expecting it all to be on computers when it's not :L

What are you intending to do afterwards?

If its univeristy then i cant see them thinking very highly of photography and ICT

[The Don]

Yeh, I wan't to go to uni afterwards, definetly. Erm, I could change photography but I really like ICT what would you recomend me change photography to?

[JACKTARD]

ICT is regarded higher than most people first think, but even so, there are other better ones like maths and the sciences.

But yeah as said above photography probably won't be very highly regarded. Then again, that's only if you're going to university.


Just make sure you know what you want to do after sixth form and make sure you're making the right choices!

[Nemo]

Depends what you wanna do in uni really. And ICT is honestly just a waste subject, atleast it is in my school. From what i know unis dont really look at it as much and as far as the actual lesson goes its just making powerpoints and incredibly boringness.

but then theres someone who knows more like above perhaps :p ^

University isn't a certainty. If you enjoy those subjects, then take them. There is more than one route to take!

[The Don]

I wan't to do either graphics at uni, but I feel this would be a waste as that degree doesn't seem worth it, or maybe programming. If not those two then probably architecture or maybe business. Are there no 'All rounder' subjects that pretty much help with any degree?

[Nemo]

Well take a look at various unis for those degrees and see what they want. And try and adjust yoursellf to that

I know that if you intend to go into the programming route (Computer Science at uni), then you NEED maths, and they like you to have further maths or physics, but is not essential.

all i'm going to say is - if you wanted to do business at uni, you don't necessarily have to take business at a level. sure, it helps - but it's not completely needed. goes the same for a lot of subjects.

This. Literally yesterday they said that maths is needed but, as niamh said, it isn't really needed. What I done personally was chose 2 sets of 2 subjects which are similar and can aid towards a certain career path.
