Is maths and phy enough in A level for a career in aerodynamics/astronomy?

[long acorn]

Just read in another thread that 3 subjects are minimum, is that true? If so ig ill just choose comp sci.

[cyan walrus]

Yes, most universities require at least 3 subjects, some will prefer 4 but 3 is the minimum

If you want to go for astronomy I would highly recommend further maths

[cyan walrus]

If your school offers it that is, it would definitely help in astronomy, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘aerodynamics’ but if you mean anything in engineering it’ll definitely help there too

That's a really great choice of subjects to take space related or even engineer related colleges, the last subject or third one should be decided based upon the university you want to apply in, look through the sets of subjects you need to get in and be inspired by that

Aerodynamics is the study of the motion of air, particularly when affected by a solid object, such as an airplane wing. Basically like planes and machines that fly

idk about unis man and honestly atm idc

[cyan walrus]

I know what aerodynamics is, I wasn’t aware that you could pursue a degree in it though, I just thought it would be part of engineering/physics not its own thing

[cyan walrus]

You’re kinda going to have to care, if your uni needs specific subjects then you won’t be able to attend if you don’t have them

For astronomy/aerodynamics in general the best combo would be Maths, Physics, FM - especially in astronomy where you’ll have a lot of really complex math, FM will help a lot

idk myself too the answer for that question 😂

[cyan walrus]

Lmaoo dw

[long acorn]

hmmmm

i study privately. ill ask my teacher if he teaches fm

[cyan walrus]

Yeah that’s a good idea

[cyan walrus]

FM will also definitely help with uni admissions

Especially in math dependent fields I believe unis would rather take a student with a better math background

Dependant*

👍

do u take FM @cyan walrus

[cyan walrus]

Nope, I wanted to

But it was too late in the year and my teacher said I can’t just do AS, I’d have to do A2 as well

School doesn’t offer it so it would’ve been as a priv candidate, but still wouldn’t have been able to due to time constraints
