The best universities now issue guidance that first officially recognized in favor of students studying traditional subjects at A-.
The guide produced by the Russell Group, a lobbying group of Oxford, Cambridge and 18 other renowned universities, confirms the rumors that have circulated for years that are in favor of newer older people, such as business studies or photograph.
It also reveals a strong preference for science subjects and mathematics - even for seemingly unrelated degrees.
The new manual is seen as the Guardian, is a sign that universities will cave ministers and teachers requires a lot of information on admission requirements to determine who are the posts granted, and why.
By not considering at least two of the following subjects: - Math, English, geography, history, none of the three pure science or a classical or modern foreign language - "many degrees in universities competition is not open for you," The guide, developed in collaboration with the Institute of Career Guidance, States.
It asks students to ask why not take the traditional themes: "Are you trying to avoid a challenge," said that while there is no "reference set" of a hard "or" soft "in question, called "hard" issues such as these are the best universities prefer and are more theoretical. Offers studies in media, art and photography, design and business studies as examples of "soft" issues and says they are "professional or have a practical orientation.
"If you plan to take more of a perception" soft "issue, can a degree of caution is necessary," warns the guide.
In June, said David Willetts, the Minister of Universities, Vice-Chancellor, he had been "pushing for greater transparency in universities for some time." Advice of teenagers have received university courses were "absolutely important .. . then [they] do not miss a class or a specific place at a university in particular by not receiving the right advice at the right time, "he said. Willetts said the manual was a "positive step towards creating a level playing field for prospective students."
Just over 7.2% of pupils in England, involved in private schools, but account for over a quarter of the consumption of the 25 most selective universities, and 46.6% in Oxford. It is believed that this may be partly due to the fact that pupils in state schools do not receive adequate guidance on what it takes to get a university elite, when they are making their choices of level.
Yesterday, Executive Director Wendy Piatt Russell group admitted that the real subjects and GCSE level was "critical to whether or reduce teen maximize their opportunities and life chances."
"It 's really important that students do not give you, select a combination of subjects at a level that does not equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge of their degree course or are not able to effectively demonstrate their suitability for a particular subject, "he said.
The directors said manual means understanding qualified students could not be at a disadvantage with their peers in private schools in the implementation of major universities such as Oxford and Cambridge.
Some argue that students of private schools and grammars have the advantage because they have teachers who can specialize in building relationships with colleges and universities in the decoding requirements for access to the complex.
Most of the 61 courses in the manual that mathematics and / or science A-levels will be a requirement for a seat, or "useful".
Guide to remind students and abroad, for example, Asian countries, subjects such as math, language, science and foreign language compulsory up to 17 This means that these students and young people to compete for places in Britain.
Critical thinking and general studies recommend additional subjects on top of three or more A-level. Science and mathematics A-level recommended for degrees in archeology, anthropology and geography, among others, law degrees and do not require legislation at. History can be useful instead, the U.S. guide. For degrees in history, some universities do not require history, but think that English is useful.
Andy Gardner, as well as students in public schools and the representative of the Institute of Guidance, said that students have met the "torrent of misleading information until further notice."
