Study Skills

Course summary

We do not recommend taking pathway 3. This is because university offers are based on 3 A-Levels and it is likely that, in most cases, studying 4 A-Levels may impact negatively on grades compared with studying just 3 A-Levels. Students wishing to pursue Pathway 3 must have a clear rationale for doing so, for instance a gifted mathematician may wish to take further maths as a fourth A-Level. It should be noted that, if a subject is dropped before completion of the 2-year course, students will not be able to gain any qualification in that subject.
