As long as you make an effort to learn the facts, you have a high chance of doing really well. YouTuber Jess Louise changed schools and started her A-Levels again in January, and in her personal opinion, Sociology was one of the easiest subjects to catch up on. One of the best ways to do this is to make your own videos presenting the topic as though you were a news presenter.
Unlike some subjects, for instance Computer Science, where you can study and study something but not necessarily get your head around it, your revision will really pay off with Sociology, if you put in the time to learn the facts. Information Technology IT can be a very easy A Level, especially because you get to take your answer into some of your exams! You might not get lucky enough to take Information Technology if you live outside of Wales, although some international exam boards may run it.
Health and Social Care is one of the easiest A-Level subjects out there. Nearly all universities accept BTECS in relevant subject areas, despite the false stereotype that they are less academic than A-Levels.
You can get very interested in it, and no one knows it better than you, which puts you in the perfect position for getting those high grades. A-Level Law is surprisingly easy, especially compared to degree-level Law. Memory is one of the easiest ways of learning, and as a huge part of Law is knowing facts, this makes the subject easier.

No, we will consider all qualifications, but where courses ask for specific A-levels or subject-relevant A-levels then those qualifications must be achieved.
The University of Cambridge recognises the importance of choosing the right A-levels and offers a range of support to students making these decisions. Information about A-level choices is available on our website and in our undergraduate prospectus.
Details of the subjects that are required or recommended for specific courses are provided in our prospectus and on our website www. This gives advice about what to choose to keep your options open or which subjects naturally combine well together.
There is also advice on subjects that provide useful preparation for some of our courses. Several of these subjects may come as a surprise, as citizenship, design and technology and sociology are hardly "traditional" A-level subjects! The university also organises a series of Subject Matters events, with information on the most recent event available here: www.
The university says: "The University of Cambridge wants to attract and admit the best and brightest students regardless of their background. The Subject Matters events help school students to make the best choices for their future success, whether at this university or elsewhere. University of Cambridge students need the academic ability, motivation and the requisite technical skills and knowledge to cope with the demands of their courses.
To a great extent, their academic ability and motivation come from within. The study of each A-level imparts specific subject knowledge and develops certain skills. Certain A-levels will be essential preparation for some degree courses as they provide the specific knowledge and skills needed for undergraduate study. If an A-level subject neither imparts relevant subject knowledge nor develops useful skills for a particular degree, it is not going to be helpful in preparing the student for the demands of that course.
However, this does not mean that some A-level subjects are not worth studying in their own right. When considering applicants, we want to ensure that their combination of A-level or equivalent subjects provide the skills and knowledge needed to hit the ground running if they become Cambridge undergraduates.
Realistically, for our broad-based science courses this generally means that students need to be taking three relevant subjects. For our arts and social sciences courses there is often more flexibility in requirements.
Does Cambridge reject applicants for studying certain A-levels? Absolutely not. No applicant would be rejected because they were taking one particular A-level; however, their A-level combination might rule them out for some, or even all, of our courses.
There are many A-level subjects that are not mentioned in our undergraduate prospectus or Subject Matters leaflet. This does not mean that they are not individually worth taking. However, they may be specialised in focus and not a good choice for students looking to keep their options open, or their teaching and assessment methods may not provide a good preparation for University of Cambridge degrees.
Our advice to students thinking of applying to Cambridge is to ensure that they are doing no more than one of these other subjects among their three or four A-levels.
Any student who has the ability should consider making Cambridge one of their five applications, if we offer a course that attracts them. We do not differentiate between A-level subjectsm and accept general studies. However, for some programmes a specific A-level or equivalent is required, eg a music A-level for the music degree, art for our fine art degree programme and most of our science programmes require at least one science A-level.
We do have some specific entry requirements for programmes, but we don't have restrictions. An application for some of our science-based degrees, or for example music, art, forensics, English, will require the applicant to either have already gained, or be working towards, an A-level or equivalent in a science, music, English etc. Information for application requirements is available on the specific pages related to the course. Any required subjects, or combinations of subjects, are listed in the entry requirements incorporated into the prospectus and online course material.
In addition, each academic school publishes detailed admissions and selection criteria in order to provide potential applicants with further detailed information, which ensures that they can make informed decisions. Schools liaison officers visit schools and colleges in the university's key catchment areas to offer expert advice to prospective students and their advisers to ensure they have the right information they need to make informed decisions about, for instance, which subjects are needed should they wish to study at Cardiff University.
We also organise open days, which allow students to discuss issues about subjects and admission policies for individual subjects. In general, most universities will require three good A-level grades for admission, and breadth can be demonstrated through additional subjects at AS-level.
General studies and critical thinking are generally not accepted in terms of satisfying the university's offers, though they are recognised as valid qualifications in their own right. Some degree programmes require specific subjects. If they do, these are clearly stated in the entry requirements. The university will receive applications from and give due consideration to an extremely wide variety of qualifications from all over the world.
General studies is the only A-level generally excluded. Having it would not damage their chances of winning a place, as long as there was sufficient preparation elsewhere on the form. General studies is normally a fourth A-level.
Admissions tutors will have a tendency to prioritise those that are directly relevant to the chosen subject, but not automatically to the exclusion of others. With a limited number of places one simply wants to choose the strongest applicants. General studies and critical thinking, if they are one of three A-levels, rather than a fourth, additional A-level. There are some degrees that will require mathematics or the science subjects.
Actuarial science and mathematics will require A-level maths. Most of our engineering courses will require maths and have physics as a preferred subject. Optometry will require at least two of maths, physics, chemistry or biology. Having said this, when the results are published, other criteria may be invoked if an applicant has marginally failed to meet the conditions of the offer, and that may include a qualification that did not form part of the original offer.
When considering "preparation", there will be subjects that are handled in more depth at A-level than in other qualifications. Conversely, BTecs are generally more vocational and in specific subjects, so may be equally good preparation for professional courses, though not so for purer academic ones.
For example, there is not usually sufficient maths in any of the BTecs for one to gain sufficient preparation for a maths degree, but most of the BTec IT courses would be fine for a computing course. Opportunities for progression are more to do with the options provided by the qualification. Admissions to the University of Cumbria are made using the Ucas tariff table. This means that all A-level subjects are allocated points.
Some courses ask for a specific qualification. For example, to be accepted onto the midwifery course, students must have Ucas points, including a minimum B in biology or human biology. A number of our courses ask for a specific A-level or a related subject to be counted in the Ucas points, eg midwifery asks for a minimum B in biology or human biology.
The information is available on the undergraduate pages of our website: www. Each of the qualifications is assigned a specific points value in the Ucas tariff table, therefore, the value of each varies, dependant on the grade achieved.
The University of Exeter is explicit in its published entry requirements with regard to any particular subjects that are required to study one of our undergraduate degree programmes. This information is available to students in a number of formats including the university's printed prospectus, the online prospectus at www. The university like many others does not accept A-level general studies for any of its undergraduate courses, but aside from subjects that are specifically required for certain programmes, the university does not discriminate according to the subjects presented by a candidate at A-level.
The university has a published policy on qualification equivalences and does not treat any level 3 A-level or equivalent qualification more or less favourably. The university's admission policy can be found at www. Here is an example of how our entry requirements are displayed on the website:.
A spokesperson for Goldsmiths, University of London, says: "We have general entrance requirements and certain programmes require specific qualifications.
Students can find out the information they need on each programme's requirements at the course programme pages on our website. For general entrance requirements visit: www. Accepts all A-levels for entry to Keele with the following exceptions: Pharmacy: does not accept general studies. Media studies is only accepted in combination with both chemistry and biology standard requirements for pharmacy are either chemistry or biology. Medicine: does not accept any applied subjects; art and design any endorsement — including photography, design and technology any endorsement ; critical thinking and general studies.
Some courses ie sciences, health-related, English, music have specific entry requirements and applicants must ensure that they are taking the correct subjects in order to meet these. As we run hundreds of courses and course combinations, which all have different entry requirements, it would take a very long time to pull together the information you're looking for.
The requirements for admission to each University of Lincoln degree programme are clearly set out on the university's website and on the Ucas website.
Where a specific A-level subject achievement is required as a pre-requisite for admission, this is clearly indicated. Similarly, where particular A-level subjects are deemed inappropriate for a specific programme, this is clearly stated.
Additional requirements, such as GCSE performance, are also clearly stated. This is because the subject content is tougher, the exams relatively more challenging and the fact that many students shy away from science subjects further reinforces this idea. Further Mathematics is unquestionably the most difficult A level subject and a good grade in this subject is a ticket to admission in many prestigious and high ranking universities.
Even for studying Computer Science at the undergraduate level, many universities require Further Maths, instead of Computer Science at A level. Many universities have specific scholarships for students who have done well at Further Maths A level. Much of the Mathematics at university for many degrees include Engineering, Computer Science, Architecture, and other Sciences can be covered by studying Further Maths at A level. Hence you can estimate the relative difficulty of Further Maths and see where it gets its prestige and respect from.
Further mathematics would probably be highly regarded in your social circle for being an extremely academic, tough and challenging subject. If you were to take this subject you can almost guarantee bragging rights. Many languages such as French and German can be studied at A level. Studying these languages is considered an achievement by many students and universities. Foreign Languages not only require you to read, write, understand and speak Yes Speak , but also expect you to know about the country history and politics that speaks the language and possibly even know phrases and words that you do not know the meaning of in English.
The speaking exams are another challenge in this already difficult subject. So if you plan on taking any of the modern foreign languages you can expect some seriously difficult exams, but lots of respect at the same time as well. Math is considered a very popular and well respected A level that has a lot of marketable value. It is also a facilitating subject for many degrees at university. Many universities may require students to study A level Mathematics in order to study other subjects such as Economics and Computer Science at the university level.
Hence, Mathematics is a highly respected and prestigious subject. The only hindrance to taking A level mathematics is the difficulty of the subject. I recognize that A level Mathematics is considered quite difficult however it is one subject that you can easily master with lots of practice and completing several problem sets. Physics, Biology and Chemisty are traditional science subjects that come with a lot of difficulty.
