This is about General Studies A level, from the Student Room site: General Studies is a subject which encompasses all aspects of the world around us. It deals with politics, ethics, literature, language, culture, science, technology and mathematics. Candidates are therefore required to have a general knowledge of each of these fields and are examined on them accordingly.

Thank you very much for your help.

General studies are just basic courses that you take before taking the classes for your major. They're the prerequisite classes.
