Well I chose dance, music and resistant materials as my GCSE choices. For my apprenticeship I needed 5 C’s to A*’s in maths, physics, english, an engineering subject and a subject of choice. So resistant materials was my engineering subject:D
As long as you have Maths Science and English at A – C you should be fine, of course any added related subjects or even a hobby related to engineer will help you, but is not essential.
I didn’t do GCSE’s (I grew up in Ireland). I still managed to get into University in England though so don’t stress too much over your choices. Do what you love.
For my Physics degree, which helped me get the job I do now, I required lots of Maths and Physics knowledge – both at A level and GCSE. But I pull in a lot of knowledge from other subjects eg. Geography, Computer Science. And even though I don’t use my drama skills every day I’m still very happy I did it – it was probably my most enjoyable subject at GCSE. I think it’s important to always choose what you’re most interested in, and let an interesting career path fall out of what you’ve chosen. 😛
