Why ICT is a good third subject
- ICT can be taken in every stream, so it keeps doors open while you decide.
- It is one of the higher-scoring A/L subjects when it is taught well, which helps your Z-score.
- Normalisation, subnetting and Python are first-year university topics. You start a computing degree already knowing them.
- Every job is becoming an IT job. Understanding the systems you work with is useful in any career.
