(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just finished GCSE's and have gotten my results. Now I am about to choose my A-Level subjects and I am confused on what to choose.
Ultimately I want to be a Programmer/Software Developer in the future, and after some research I found that Computer Science would be the perfect course for me in Uni.
Most Universities require an A-Level in Maths and Physics is highly desired.
I feel very comfortable taking these subjects as I have achieved an A* in Maths and A in Physics in GCSE's.

So my therefore I have decided to go for these subjects in A-Level bearing in mind I have to take 4.
-Maths - AS/A2
-Physics - AS/A2
-Double Applied higher IT - AS/A2

I need help on choosing one more subject that would be beneficial to me towards my career studies.

Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated.

I don't really know what programs I would be creating in College or Uni lol... And you're wrong I think you need to learn what programming is :p. It's mostly GUI that requires no images or anything. It's just like CSS.

I don't know if they do it in England, but if they do Design Communication Graphics. It will help a lot towards game designing, maybe not your college course, but if you can show you received an A in it to a future game designing company it would look very good.

If they'll let you for your course, don't take physics. I got 100% in GCSE Physics but realised how fucking hard A Level physics was later on lol.

Maths, Physics, chemistry and Geography would be my suggestions.
