Gonna try and keep this as short as I can. I'm moving and have my place at a new sixth form in September, and while they get really good results, they offer a limited selection of A Level subjects.
I've just finished my AS exams and I'm going to be taking on English Language onto A2 and starting three new A Levels, and I'm looking at studying Linguistics at University.
At the moment I'm pretty set on Classical Civilisation and English Literature being two out of three of my new subjects, however I'm stuck on picking the last one out of Geography and History.
I'm considering History as I know it is well respected and would probably fit in with my other subjects as something very essay heavy. It's always something I've liked the idea of but I didn't take it at GCSE.
Geography, however, I did take at GCSE and I got an A in. I've always enjoyed it and been good at it, and I figure it might work well as it's still respected while being in contrast to my other subjects as it is slightly more objective and Science-y?
I've looked at what I would be studying next year for both subjects, and the History content looks like it could be boring at times while the Geography units I already have some basic knowledge of from GCSE.
My only other options as far as different subjects go are Government & Politics or Ethics & Philosophy. That is all that is available for me to take besides what I mentioned above.
The option of taking both History and Geography and dropping Classical Civilisation is something I'm reluctant to do. It's been recommended at open days that it would be useful for Linguistics and after talking to friends/lecturers I have my heart set on it.
Though I am leaning more toward doing Geography now I'm just looking for other opinions? Thanks!
