Which A-levels should I take?

Hi I'm in year 11 so I've started to look at what I and to do in college. The courses that I'd like to take are:
French/German
Economics
Government and politics
Law/accounting
Would these work well together if not which ones would you recommend? Thanks :smile:

I would say that those would go fine together :smile: Remember to bear in mind what you might like to at university (if you want to go) so you make sure you are taking the correct subjects for the degree you'd like to do.
thanks, that's helped a lot :smile:

I think not having an additional science may hold you back a little. Have you looked to see what subjects are essential and preferred for the engineering courses you are interested in?

Potentially, you really need Physics for many engineering courses at "good" universities.

From a quick look at a few unis, you're going to need physics to get in.

Could you switch business studies for a different subject considering you want to study engineering? Is there any possibility of Further Maths or do you not believe your maths skills are quite up to that level of contnet?

Perhaps, but engineering is basically applied physics...

Forgetting entry requirements, if you're not able to do Physics A level you'll probably struggle with the content of an Engineering degree.
