Options Booklet

1. If you know what you want to do you must ensure that you study any required subjects.

2. Choose subjects that give you as much choice as possible in the areas you are interested in.

3. Choose subjects that demonstrate the skills and knowledge that universities want to see.

4. Choose subjects you enjoy- If you have a passion for a particular subject that is not on the facilitating list then in many cases choosing it as a third option will be fine.
