Subject choices A levels

I'm probably moving (again) the the UK this summer and I am planning on taking A levels as a prep for Uni in two years. My question was, what subject choices should I make to keep my options as wide as possible for over two years? The sciences and maths won't cut it for me. And I am 100% certain I want to take history as one of my subjects.

My other question is, is taking my mother language (Dutch) as an A level anything worth?

Well i am kinda guessing your a humanities type. Dutch makes you stand out from the crowd and history is good . What about something like geography, english or music (if you do it)

History, Language, Geography, psychology, art, philosophy come to mind

Well, after looking at the website of my desired college I came down to the following choices: History, Geography, ICT/Computing and economics. This should enable me to pursue a studies in economics, computer science, law, history, geography and some other social sciences.

did you end up doing the dutch A level?

I did the AS last year, and Dutch being my mother tongue, I got an A. it isn't a bad exam and it's pretty much an easy A level if you speak the language. I'm studying for the A2 level though, as it requires slightly advanced vocab and an essay on topics such as society, environment, science&tech, and literature.
I advise you do it cause after summer 2018 its existence will be scrapped since it has so little candidates every year.
