Do you need an essay based subject?

Do you need to do an essay based subject for a level like history or English.
Would it look good at uni?

Depends where you plan on applying/what you intend to study. For me, sociology counted as an essay based subject lol
If you're applying for a science degree, of course not; they want to see you're good at science. If you're applying for something like law, then essay subjects are considered helpful, as degrees like those will be heavily essay-centric for three years.
