Are my IB subjects considered “soft”?


Recommended Posts

Hello! 
I’m a student planing my IB subjects as I am starting that this year. I hope to get into one of the top universities if I can in the uk and I was wondering if my subjects would be seen soft as universities have specific preferences. Mostly because a Spanish ab initio is seen as the easiest second language and most prefer economics over business.

I’m hoping to go into one of natural sciences, cognitive science, neuroscience, or computer science and I plan to take:

English A Lit HL

Spanish ab initio

Business management HL

Biology HL 

Math HL

Chemistry SL


Thank you!

Hey champ,

The only thing that I don't understand is why you would want to take Business management when it doesn't apply to anything you want to major in. If your school offers it I think it would make more sense to take something like psychology though I'm not sure if that makes sense for you particularly.

I agree with you. I personally wanted to take economics or psychology, but the only group 3 subjects that my school offers are business and history both at HL. I’ve heard that history is very difficult so I was thinking about business. Would it be better to take history HL even though that would require more work?
