A Levels for Law

I'm quite sure that law at a level is not recommended and universities don't like it. it is on LSE's list of non-preferred subjects and Cambridge's (Trinity's) list of subjects of limited suitability. I believe universities just would like you to have a good mix of rigorous a levels, with about 2 or more essay subjects.
A suitable combination would be Politics, History, English Lit and 1 other perhaps a language.

Thank you for the feedback, however I'm awful at language's and have never really enjoyed them either, i would prefer to do something i enjoy! Is taking Law A level going to be a disadvantage seeing as it is still a starting point and will help me determine whether i want to pursue a career in law or not?

Well as you are doing 3 traditional subjects as well it shouldn't make too much of a difference. maybe do AS law and do politics, english and history to a2 rather than dropping one of the other ones. That way the 3 a levels which your offer is based on will be preferred subjects, and you still get to do law.

Notwithstanding the list of non preferrd subjects, then I would go for the ones you enjoy and will get the best grades in.It doesnt really matter for law, although being able to write an essay is handy for some. The ones Samantha suggested are fine. Think carefully before you take a subject you arent confident with.

I'm very confident with doing law, politics and history however I'm less confident about english literature as I'm only predicted B at GCSE:/ however they say for law you should do english lit...

Law is a funny one. It doesnt give you any advantage and as Samatha points out it is non preferred i.e theres a definite disadvantage. That only becomes relevant if they say its non preferred so check or take the disadvantage. Not everyone specifies, so you could take Law if you wanted and be mindful of where you apply.

If you have your heart set on certain institutions best check to see what their views are, especually if they regard any as non preferred.

Grades matter the most imo.

don't take law at uni - in my opinion as somebody who took it after getting A*AAB with gov/pol, history, english language and phil/ethics (to enter a russell group law course) it was the most atrociously boring subject/course I could have ever taken. I fell asleep in almost every lecture. it had absolutely no intellectually-stimulating content. anybody can disagree with me here, I'm just letting you know what I think. it's massively overhyped as a course/career prospect and it has one of the highest course dropout rates for a reason.

I know people from my local area who are studying Jurispudence at Oxford and they did law to A2, so of course you can choose it!

I do Law AS and it is such an interesting subject... If the uni's you want to go to don't like it, just drop it at AS and explain why at interview if they ask

not taking law at university probably won't be a path that i take, seeing that i have always aspired to have a career in law.

Okay thank you! that has made me a lot more confident about taking the subject at a level!

...you're *not* taking law at university? so you're wanting the right a levels for law (your thread title) and you have "always aspired to have a career in law" (everybody, including me, said that before they dropped out) yet you're "not taking law at university"?...? I don't understand?

i would prefer to go to bristol university if i can as it is closer to home than university in london, but i can't find the list of non-preferred subjects. does this mean they don' have any

what I'm trying to say is that no matter what i will try to take a law degree at university, because that is what i have always wanted to do.

Maybe just contact them and check.
