What Subjects to choose for A Levels?

[Mohammad Naseer]

Hi Everyone, I plan on to pursue my career in Computers and will apply for Software or Computer engineering at university level. Currently in O Level i am giving Physics, Chemistry, Computers, Maths, Add-Maths, English. ( already done with Islamiat (C Grade) Urdu (A Grade) and Pak. Studies (A Grade).... so what subjects do I have to take in A levels? I've thought of Maths, Computers and Business Studies ( also English General Paper ). Btw is it necessary to take Chemistry and Physics or either one for admission in universities that offer software and computer engineering degrees in Pakistan.

Honestly, Business Studies isn't needed for Computer Engineering at A-level. In Pakistan, I don't think you need Chemistry for a Computer Engineering degree but it'd still be a good subject to take nevertheless.

I recommend you take Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Computer. Drop Chemistry in A2 if you find it difficult and intend to apply in Pakistan.

I really hate chemistry and physics and find them hard especially chemistry .....i was thinking of doing business studies so that I'll have some basics on business. I'll still take physics but will take BS instead of Chem.

Alright, your choice. As long as you have Physics, Math and Computers then you should be good to go.

Well you must only opt Physics Chemistry Maths and Applied ICT

nothing more or less
and yes without Chemistry, you wouldn't be able to get admission in any Paki uni in engineering!

don't opt Computing ... if you are interested in the field of the deep study of computer e.g. internal working, computer architecture, making of ICs, RAM etc ... then opt Computing ... otherwise AICT

and I would suggest you to go for Computer Science ... because it is a larger field than Software engineering as in CS you also study software engineering, artificial intelligence, coding, algorithms etc

Oh, i am very interested in deep studying of the field it's the only thing I have most knowledge about , Thanx for pointing out how much i need chemistry. Could you tell me whether the field is successful in Pakistan? Like is there a good demand for people who have done Computer Engineering ?

well that's great ... then you must opt Computing in A level, not Applied ICT
well there is no as such specific computer field which I can say has the most demand
but yes, Computer Science and Software Engineering both have a good scope in market
and yeah there's nothing a Computer Engineering .. it is either Software engineering or Computer Science!

btw you complete your O level for now
after O level you would be having about 2.5 months to do research on all this thing ...

Alright thanx for all your help and i was comparing the computer field with commerce etc. ... thanx alot !

no problem
and well both fields have good scope

Hello anybody?
I want to ask, what fields can i go to, if i take only Physics and ICT in Alevels and AS ?

Take maths with that and you can do computer science

You can't enter any field with ONLY those subjects. If u take maths then u can do Computer Sciences.

 

[sma786]

oh ok..
i take math but
i wanted to drop it ..

within science no one can go any where with out math

 

[Maryum102]

hey guys I am taking Aict chem phy and math in as level what fields can I go to

 

[Dark Destination]

Except for medical. That doesn't require maths.
