Your subjects are considered a little soft. I'd change Language to Literature, it's much more respected. You can't do English at most unis without lit or lit&lang. As for Politics and Law , History would be a much better option. Unis prefer more traditional courses, even for a law degree, History/ English Lit is much preferred to Law. The same is for Politics. And sociology is quite similar to human part of geography. The physical side will give you a bit of a break and diversity.

If you're worried your options are too similar, then I'd recommend you did one of the 3 sciences or maths. You could also do something quite artsy for a 4th, like Fine Art or Theatre Studies. Theyr're less resoected( unless you do something very related to these courses)but will give you diversity.

The 'Facilitated Subjects' are:
Maths & Further Maths
Chemistry
Physics
Biology
History
Gepgraphy
Modern Foreign Languages
English Literature

I hope this helps you come to a decision. :smile:
