Want to study History at Uni, however not to sure where to apply...I have decided that I want to study History at uni. I am doing my A-levels in the UK and completed my GCSEs here, however am from Canada, so don't know too much about the English universities and was wondering if anyone could tell me good unis to read history at...
I got 7 A stars at GCSE and 3 As and am predicted 5 As at AS level.
My Subjects are:
History
Geography
Maths
Biology
Chemistry
Does anyone know if these subjects are okay for wanting to do History, as I know I am only doing two humanities...
Thank you!! -

Re: Want to study History at Uni, however not to sure where to apply...Dude history isnt an exclusive subject, as long as you get good grades and study history ull be ok.
I got 6 As at gcse, 2As,B,C,D at AS and predicted A*A*A at A2
had offers from durham, york, birmingham, uea, and oxford brookes (last choice was terrible - regret picking a backup choice) -

Re: Want to study History at Uni, however not to sure where to apply...Hiya,
I am a student ambassador from UEA in Norwich, I think it is great that you are thinking ahead. Do not worry about not doing too many "Humanity" subjects, you have given yourself a broad basis to choose your subject from. So long as you do well, especially in your personal statement, then you should be absolutely fine! Good luck :-)

Re: Want to study History at Uni, however not to sure where to apply...Leeds and Nottingham were my favourites when I went round...But is really about what you're looking for campus, non-campus etc
had offers from leicester, york and birmingham as well which were all nice

Re: Want to study History at Uni, however not to sure where to apply...You have a good mix of A-Levels, so you should be fine for applying for History. I got into two of the best universities in the country for History (Cambridge and UCL) studying History, English Literature, Physics and Mathematics, so you should be fine.
In terms of good universities to read History at, since you have very strong grades, I'd certainly recommend looking into either Cambridge or Oxford.
