Top Tips
Don't pick subjects based on what your friends are choosing or based on who your current teacher is.
Remember you cannot take very closely related subjects e.g. Computer Science and Information Technology; Resistant Materials and Engineering; Textiles and Resistant Materials; Art/Graphics/Photography
If you are struggling to speak to your teacher or tutor in person for advice, please email SOUY8Options@welearn365.com and your enquiry will be passed on to the relevant member of staff
