The Subject Matters
What is 'Subject Matters'?
AS and A Level (or equivalent) subject choices made in Year 11 can have a major impact on the course options available at university. A significant number of very bright and capable students fail to gain places at top universities because they are not studying the right subjects.
Each autumn the University of Cambridge runs practical and informative Saturday afternoon sessions, for Year 11 students. The events, called The Subject Matters, highlight the importance of suitable A Level (or equivalent) subject choices when making an application to a top research led university, and helps students access information to make informed A Level choices.
When assessing applicants at the University of Cambridge, we consider not only the individual A Level (or equivalent) subjects taken but also the combination of subjects. We generally prefer applicants to have taken certain subjects, or combinations of subjects, because they are more likely to provide an effective preparation for study at the University.
