Media Studies or Law for A-level ?

I dont know whether to take law or media studies for a - level, i got an 'A' in media studies at gcse.
But wanted opinions on the subject and whether it is easy / a do-able alevel ?

they are both subjects that top unis would not respect, the thing is you may think doing easy a levels can get you into a top uni, subjects are either facilitating or non facilitating, doing all non facilitating subjects will do you no good with russel group unis if you're intending to go to them, however if you are doing 3 facilitating subjects already and planning do law or media then that may be okay as some top unis do not mind you taking atleast 1 non facilitating. Google facilitating and non facilitating subjects if you do not know what that is! but yeah I have friends who do media and find it quite easy, I do not know about law though

Thats so good ! Would you say it is a really challenging subject for a-level or generally quite easy?

I teach Law at a sixth form college and I would say GO FOR IT! It's fun and the Unis love to see it on your application

AS or A2?

If the latter, don't bother with either or them and focus your energy on doing better in the other subjects.

That's a lie! loads of uni's say having it will be a direct disadvantage to gaining entry to their course

I tried it in induction week and didnt enjoy it and found it quite boring, so does it get better as the course goes along ?

If you have a good Media teacher, it can be a load of fun. It's not a complete cake-walk, and can get challenging at A2. I personally loved it -- it struck just the right balance between creativity and theory, and it was just a fun time. I've never done Law, though.

Do you have a rough idea of what your five uni choices will be (assuming)?

yes, but it is also MILES better than the other subject you suggested, I am sure you will enjoy it much more

I am not necisarrily looking to go to a russel group uni, and i am taking English Literature, history and photography so im taking 2 facilitating already which i have checked and is the minimum, i just want to take subjects which i know i am going to get a good grade in rather than taking a facilitating one and not doing so well.
Thanks.

Do you know anything about media then ?

A lot of unis wont accept media as a credible subject
