Choosing which subjects to study at school is more complicated than picking your favourites. Many jobs demand particular qualifications and most colleges and universities want the appropriate crop of A-levels for their courses. How do you decide which of them will best suit your needs?
Youngsters facing the future talk about the hurdles they must overcome at each stage of their school life and in the light of their comments a panel of experts in higher education and careers consider the opportunities available and explain how the system works. Brian Redhead takes the Chair and they want to hear from you too.

Studies at the University of East Anglia.
