The effect of league tables on maths and some other subject's uptake is
a serious issue. By coincidence I just had an applicant to one of our
courses here at King's (we had an open day today) fulminating about how
his school had sold him the idea of doing media studies (along with
maths and biology) with the result that he is now, in his gap year,
desperately trying to get physics A-level by self study. Some
universities have rejected him out of hand because his AAB grades are
not all in subjects they judge to be good basis for a maths degree.
