      Hi…

      Maths, Science and English….

      Maths and Science as they directly relate to Engineering… i.e. physics, chemistry, even biology depending on which field of Engineering you might be interested in ….Maths was included in my studies right up to my Masters…. English is important because I write lots of reports… so English is important so you can structure a report that makes sense… the technical bit comes with experience !!

      Hope that helps..!

      Hi Aaron (and Callum?)
      Maths and science definitely help – a lot of universities will want you to have a maths A level but some don’t. For example I dropped maths after GCSE, but then it was part of my university course.

      Hey Aaron (I’m glad you’re cooler than Callum!)
      To do engineering at University, you need to do Maths and at least one other science subject (Physics/Chemistry are preferred).
      I chose to do Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Biology for my A-levels.
