    You're most likely to get a decent job by completing your course and getting a good mark.

    You're most likely to get a good mark by studying a subject you are interested in at a place you are comfortable/happy.

    Figure out what you are interested in, then figure out which universities offer courses including those topics, then figure out which of those universities feels like a place you could be happy.

    Asking for someone to tell you what and where to study based solely on your A level subjects is a waste of everyone's time.

    Well, if you develop a strong interest in any of those subjects, then go for one of those at universty level. The most important thing is to do something you enjoy at university as this will aide in getting good results (from experience it's almost impossible motivating yourself to do something you hate at university, when you see how easy it is to do well in subjects you like) and a good degree classification.


    You could always look at vocational degrees such as Law to get an insight as well.

    Figure out what subject(s) you like best, look into some possible subjects to take a bit more, read around and hope to find something that really interests you . Remember many universities do joint degrees too.

    Will you be applying from September? It's best to get a move on and really try and find something you want to study. Once you know what subject, then you can look into what universities offer it (UCAS have a course search which will show you places offering it) and find out about entry requirement/job prospectus etc. and then try and visit the main ones you're hoping to apply to. Make sure you think about an insurance choice too. Then you can get cracking with your personal statement!
    I will give you this advice - for the love of god don't apply if you're not 100% sure on what you want to do!
