Below we have set out three British Curriculum plans for students looking to study at University locally or overseas. These plans will help assist students in deciding what subjects to choose for the GCSE's, AS Levels and A-Levels. The subjects are based on the field of study they plan on going into. Even if you are not sure what you want to study, these three template plans will give you an idea of what a British syllabus might look like. Your subject choice can be changed at any stage however it gets more difficult to change the further along you go as you may need to catch up a lot of work.
You are able to swap certain subjects to suit your strengths and personality.
