Choosing Subjects • Which subjects will you do best in? Low grades can be as much as a barrier as choosing unsuitable subjects • Research a subject if you have never taken it e. g. Psychology, Sociology, Politics, Economics • Which subject do you enjoy? • Think about your future - degree / profession e. g. Chemistry is required for medicine Maths is needed for most Economics courses • Don’t choose a subject based on who might teach it
