Hello
My ds is still very young (year 8 ) and does not need to be thinking about uni at all. However he has been insistent for about 4 or 5 years that he is going to go to university in Europe (and for even longer than that, he has been determined that he is going to live in a particular N European mainland country for the rest of his life - we don't know where this passion has come from but he is very certain about it).
I totally appreciate that all this could change in the next few years and nothing is set in stone but I do like to help manage his expectations because he is the sort of child who thinks that just because this is what he wants to do, it will happen. (I hope he's right!)
I have a couple of questions.
Do we know what Brexit will do in terms of affecting British students who want to attend a European university? At the moment the websites are still encouraging UK applicants but we are still in the EU. I know the Erasmus programme says it will continue but that's different from what ds would like to do.
Also (and I don't really expect anyone to know the answer, but if anyone does they'll probably be on this forum

) he really wants to do PPE which is available at the university he wants to go to. But they say on their website that "at least" Maths AS level is required. Obviously going forward, most schools are not going to be doing AS levels and reducing from 4 to 3 A levels too. I find it difficult to imagine that they would want Maths A level (as one of three) but do other similar courses here require Maths? That may well be a game changer because he really does not want to Maths (and is already expecting to do a MFL that he does not
love just for the end-game) so to do another A level he won't enjoy much would not be sensible.
Thank you!
