If you took Accounting, Creative Writing or Pure Maths as an A-Level, you were one of the last people to do so.

The subjects are being killed off from next year by exams body Ofqual. In fact, theres a big list of subjects below that you'll no longer be able to study in England from 2017 onwards.

A lot of more creative courses seem to have been wiped out entirely, including Creative Writing, History of Art and Media: Communication and production.

The list

From 2017 onwards, students will no longer be able to study these subjects in England:

• Accounting
• Anthropology
• Archaeology
• Citizenship studies
• Communication and Culture
• Computing – replaced by Computer Science
• Creative writing

The scrapping of certain subjects have not gone down well. In particular, people are livid about the scrapping of Art History.

We don't want a world where Art History A-levels for state schools is an unaffordable luxury, but a new Royal Yacht is a necessity! ‼️
