Are these subjects okay for a law degree?

I have chosen Maths, law, sociology and media studies. Would these subjects be okay for me to do law at a Russell group Uni, Liverpool to specific. I'll probably drop media studies next year. I know English/history are the best but are these okay if I get top grades in them.

This is where it gets a little harder to say whether taking 'soft' subjects, but getting As in them is enough to get an offer.

Are there any other subjects which you think you can get an A in?

Hopefully I'll get A's in all of them. I'm retaking year 12 so I know where I went wrong last year. Would economics, law, maths and government and politics or sociology be a better choice. I might be able to do them aswell as the other college hasn't got back to me yet?

Economics and maths are 'strong'. I would suggest that's a better choice, as long as you think that you get can As in them.

For instance I go for maths, law, sociology and media studies do i still stand a chance of going to a russel group uni? Some unis have specifically written on ucas that they want atleast 2 traditional subjects. The ones that have written any subjects do I stand a chance of getting in their?

law, media studies and sociology are all quite soft subjects and russell group universities require at least 2 facilitating ones. i'd strongly recommend you took
english literature and history.

No they don't. Please understand what a facilitating subject is. A facilitating subject is a subject that preserves the widest freedom of choice of academic courses. As very few law courses are prescriptive about subjects, that is largely irrelevant.

A candidate applying with say, RE, economics and philosophy A levels (no facilitating subjects) would be at no discernible disadvantage for law to one applying with maths, geography and German (three facilitating subjects).

are you denying that russell group universities in particular normally prefer at least 2 facilitating subjects, especially for a course as rigorous as law

in which candidates would benefit most from a-levels such as english literature and history?

law a-level is not particularly highly regarded

and since maths is the only non-soft subject OP is taking, i was simply suggesting they considered two more difficult a-levels if they are serious about applying to the top universities in the uk.

It is best to avoid Media Studies completely as it is a Micky Mouse subject. If you can take Economics instead that would be good as you with have two facilitating subjects. Politics is a better option than Sociology but if you prefer Sociology take it.

You have to get AAB+ so dont take subjects you find difficult.

No, if the OP takes economics rather than media studies and politics rather than sociology, the OP will still only have one facilitating subject; maths.

So instead of using the terminology of 'facilitating subjects', should we instead use 'preferred subjects'?

Applicants should offer at least two traditional, academic subjects.
