Just do what you want to do
I did Psychology,Sociology and Health and Social Care all related .At times it was tedious as some of the modules were the same, but then different in their own way (i know i don't make sense sometimes) and you have to make sure that you answer the quesitons in exams according to the subject.

Anyone who has done psychology and Health and Social Care will know what i mean.Health and Social care want the basics rather than deep evaluation , issues etc as you don't get marked for it.

Re. your sig: I think people post their grades because it's a student forum and geared towards helping people with decisions etc. If someone has an offer from a uni you want to go to, for instance, it's useful to be able to see what sort of grades they had. And if you're aiming for particular grades, you know who to PM for advice. When I had grades in my sig, people were always asking me for advice.

OP: No, you won't get bored. In fact, you may find you grow to love your subject even more. Ignore the haters- enough people do all the sciences and maths so there's no reasons why all humanities/social sciences should be a problem either.

[DJ AgnieszkaA]

unis dont dislike law because its law, they dislike it because its non traditional.
your other options arent traditional either. that being the case, you would be best to take law - it's relevant, at least.

If you enjoy the subjects, I don't see how you'd get bored of them.

Re. your sig:

erm..thats a bit of a rhetorical question ..
To me its mainly people with As and from past experience of being with people with these grades they are not quiet about it.

[orca92]

You won't get bored if you enjoy your subjects. Lots of people take a completely sciences based A level combination or a completely arts based A level combination. If you enjoy the sciences then yes, you will get bored with your subjects; if you enjoy the subjects then you won't get bored of them.

[glitterbug101]

If you're worried about them being too similar, you could drop one (Law probably) and do something else? Personally I think a language would fit well with the other three.

Yeah, I guessed that lol.

But I think some people genuinely do it to help. (Perhaps that's naive of me but I find it useful sometimes so I live in hope).

Hi, for A Level i am intending to do History, English Literature, Law and Sociology. In the future i intend to teach History but i have had many people saying to me that i should broaden my A Level choices becauase if i don't, then i will get bored and grow to hate the subject

To be honest, this has enoyed me . I have picked these A Levels because i love History and Literature, and Law and Sociology seems very interesting to me as an individual. I would rather study subjects at A Level that i enjoy, as i will have a better chance of succeeding; in my opinion anyway.

I was just wondering if anyone else had studied one or more of these subjects as a combination, and if they really did grow to hate them.

I will be very gratefull for any opinions

Thankyou xx

i did maths, further maths (all mechanics modules) and physics so i basically did one subject. it just makes life easier since half the stuff you learn overlaps each other

I know, but there's nothing I can do really.
I'm definitely taking Maths, Literature and History, I just need a useful alternative to Economics

Your "alternative options" are all rather poor subjects to be honest.

Could you not just do a different academic subject? Eg, a language, politics, religious studies etc?

[orca92]

You definitely should keep English Lit and History as universities love them for law. This link will tell you roughly which subjects are soft and which aren't:
http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=604

Firstly, discount accountancy as it's very unrespected; its on the LSE blacklist and the Trinity 4th A level list.
I would also discount English Language as it is also soft and you already have English Lit and unis sometimes don't like overlap, especially the best unis.
Business and law are both soft as well; however, i think that if you are wanting to take one of the 4 you originally specified and not biology or chemistry you should choose from these two. I would personally go for law as you want to do it at degree level so i think it might be rated slightly higher than business studies in terms of entry to uni. Doing law would also allow you to get an idea of what the subject is like before you go to uni; bare it in mind though that subjects at degree level are very different to subjects at A level.

If you do decide that you want to go for biology or chemistry then i would definitely recommend it; having a strong science would definitely add to your application.

Essay subjects are so ******* boring except history XD im going to take that up for AS
Science all the way XD

[Crazy Paving]

Those subjects together aren't that similar tbh. Anyway, if you are interested in this particular area of study, then you won't get bored.

[-G-a-v-]

They're not THAT similar in terms of content, but you will probably be suffering from essay overload, but if you're good at essays and you like writing them, you'll probably be okay.

Thought about doing a contrasting subject just up to AS to lessen the essay overkill, maths or something maybe?

[Jinxy]

I don't get bored and I do nearly the same subjects together. (see profile) They compliment one another very well.

Nah
Computing is more complicated than IT
The content in Computing is closer to the content that you will find in a Computer Science degree than IT
TO OP :I recommend that you switch Business Studies for Further Maths
Computer Science at degree level is based heavily on Maths

oh right, sorry
well then keep computing, and definitely change business studies to something else. Further Mathematics is something you take whilst doing/having done Mathematics and its an extension to it. if you dont want to take further maths at least take another science or even a respectable a level like english or history, just not business studies

[Cassie218]

Those subjects aren't all that similar

and I did History & Economics at A-level and found that economics really helped with Nazi economy & Italian (under mussolini) economy parts of the history course

meant I didn't have to spend long working out what effect some of the statistics had on the population e.g more spending on armaments meant less of the people = food shortages/less welfare spending etc. etc.

do what you enjoy

[AAfc]

There not that similar and you wont have time to get bored really

[MarinaM]

Personally, I would have preferred to do a contrasting subject, but I don't hate what I actually did, nor did I get bored by it. So don't sweat it.
