Question
Sir
I am in China and I am doing my A-levels currently.I am in AS right now. I study Core Maths, Chemistry, Physics and General Paper(G.P)
I was wondering whether you could tell me if I need any other subjects for aeronautics?
Thank you
Taahaa
Hi
Looks like you are studying the best subjects. We ask for A level Maths and a science, preferably Physics, plus one other A level other than GP. This gives you the best foundation on which to build. Maths is especially important, as many of the subjects have a significant mathematical basis, as you would expect.
Good luck with the rest of your studies.
