A level grades needed to study law?

Law/Maths/Business or Econ is a decent combination, and results wise AAA (plus you'd need to take the LNAT)

Oh...I could get those grades but I am taking Art, Spanish, English Literature and RS.. They're very essay based and I think they'd be fine for law but it depends whether the uni prefers analytical/essay based subjects or subjects showing logical reasoning. Should I not apply here then?

You could apply there, but if you don't want to take Law at A-Level, why do you want to study it at University? Not saying you shouldn't, but it would be advantageous. They are a top establishment so it may be slightly difficult to convince them you're capable of doing well in Law, but you could always give it a shot. Good luck.

I can't take law A level at my school either. :/

Your A level subjects are fine, for Bristol and other reputable unis. Some universities prefer applicants not to take law at A level, so it's fine for you not to do so. Drop art after the first year if you are going to drop one.

The main thing is that you must get top grades, not just to get into university but also to give you the best chance at getting a training contact after your degree. Get AAA or better at A2 if you can.

Bummer, any chance you could move to one that does? If you really want to do it at A-Level. It's not too late. See how you find your current subjects for a week or so first, though. When I said it may be advantageous to take Law, I meant it would help during your degree, not for the application.

I do Law at uni, I don't go to Bristol but most uni's are indifferent as to whether you do Law, some even discourage it because it means you think you know parts of your 1st and/or 2nd year syllabus and in reality, you don't, you know it in easy mode. It really doesn't matter whether you do law or not, just do well in your subjects.

I said it's advantageous in terms of the degree, which it is. Nothing to do with getting in. Like I said. If you read what I said. You would have seen that.

I read. That, sir is about getting in. It won't be difficult, write a good personal statement and try and get some work experience and you've shown intent. I've already said that it's not advantageous, you're going to have to be re-taught half of your A Level syllabus and I would argue that re-learning something which you already thought you knew is harder than beginning with a totally blank canvas which can be tuned and tweaked before any errors or bad habits creep in.

It is not advantageous.



Primarily, you should do A-levels which you think you would like and which you would do well in. The more traditional the better, but you want to get AAA. Your suggestion of English, RS, Spanish and Art is fine.

Source: have studied law at Bristol.

I'm doing History, Philosophy and Ethics, English Literature and Geography. Are these good subjects for law at uni?

I'm doing the same subjects except Maths instead of Spanish and also hope to do Law at a Russell group uni. Bristol requires AAA. I'd say your combination is perfect since you have two essay based to show your analytical skills, Spanish and art which are out of the box to show you're well rounded. Which one will you drop at AS?
