  7. Choosing Your Course • Select four AS level subjects • Think ahead to university course selection, and may need to be aware that certain degree courses require certain subjects at A level: For example, Architecture courses require Art A2

  8. Choosing Your Course continued….. • In order to help you decide on your final choice of subjects, there is a section at the back of the brochure where you can find likely combinations of subjects needed for various degree courses/ careers. • Please note that any reduction in students opting for specific courses or a change in staffing might mean the subject offer would have to be amended.

  9. The Option Blocks • How the Sixth Form timetables are constructed: • Subjects are placed in Option Blocks. All subjects within a block are taught simultaneously and this means that you must ultimately choose one subject from each of the blocks, leaving one spare block. To increase the choice of subject combinations, some subjects will appear in two or more Blocks. • The Option Blocks for September 2013 are driven by the straw poll
