    You would possibly need Psychology but I don't even think that you need any specific subjects.

    Already posted this, but didn't ask the question I wanted to.


    English literature;
    Religious studies;
    History; and
    Philosophy

    Want to study law. Are the subjects okay to study law?
    These subjects seem good for Law. People I know who have applied for Law are doing pretty much the same thing, and they've all been accepted.
