Thank you so much! I think I have a new academic goal! It sound sperfect, just need to get into UCL! lol

So you are saying that I should take History, G&P,French and Economics?
It does not really matter if I drop Economics at AS?
I think I will stay away from Maths- realised that it really is just not for me!

May I ask which Uni you are going to? As well as the A-levels you took?

Again, thank you so much for the link! I now have a direction to aim for :smile:

As a fourth A level? So basically just do it until AS?
With the course of the college I want to go to, the A2 subject seem a lot mroe interesting, which is the American Political system.
How is it hard?
Do you think with the other essay subjects I'm taking that I will find it harder?
Would it really help my my Economics? Apparently they compliment each other.
Again what are the exams like?
Thanks for replying! :smile:

We do American politics at A2 too and it is more interesting, not that AS is exactly boring. It's hard to link things together and come to a conclusion - it's easy learning the facts and theories, but it's much more difficult to analyse them.

I don't know if it would help with Economics, since I don't do it, but it couldn't hurt :smile:

The exams are difficult but you'll learn the technique over and over and it's all down to practise and revision.

Purely based on their entry requirements, French, History, Politics and AS Economics seems like a very good combination, given that you wouldn't want to do the Economics specialism anyway which would require Maths.

I'm a scientist and currently going into software development etc., so this is not very helpful for what you want to do. However, if you search "European Social and Political Studies" with the TSR search you might find some people who have applied to this or similar degree programs and can check what A-Levels they did.
