Law or Computer Science

Those are two extremely different fields, but it is possible to go into technology-related law. It would be much easier to convert from computer science to law than law to computer science. You don't have to decide yet, but definitely take maths at a level if a computer science degree is something you're considering. Law degrees don't require any specific subjects.

No problem! What a levels are you interested in taking by the way?

Well, I am taking Maths, Computer Science and History currently, just not sure would Further Maths or Physics be better as a 4th A Level.

Generally further maths - it can help get into and cope with some courses - plus 4 different A levels is generally ill-advised.

Physics will help you with neither Computer Science nor Law. Further Maths is pretty much necessary to do computer science at Imperial, Cambridge or Oxford, but you'd still have a lot of options open to you for cs at other unis without further maths. 4 a levels generally isn't recommended, but I'd say further maths as a 4th a level is more manageable than physics as a 4th a level.

Thanks a lot,
Then the choice is almost clear to me

What degree have you decided on?

I have decided to do Engineering for now, probably computer engineering, but if I will see it is not for me will probably switch to Law
