Subject selection

I am very confused about which subject combination I should go for if I want to get a degree in law, particularly corporate law. Should I go for business economics, accounting, and law?

thanku so much. U solved 50 percent of my issues

What's the other 50%?

Getting good grades 😭

Lol. Yeah, that's a big one.

I can give you pointers on business, economics, and accounting if you need to (I avoid law like the plague). However, I think it's going to be more productive if you go on YouTube and look for videos that gives you tips for scoring the higher grades e.g.

You would need to google or look on YouTube for the others.

I am not entirely sure which subjects you chose, should you pick subjects different to those above. If you have, you would need to do the research yourself for the videos and sites.

Other than good grades, I would also focus on your personal statement, work experience, and LNAT, which is going to make or break your application at top law schools if you are going to do a law degree at all.

Hey, many thanks for the links. I'll look through each one since it means a lot to me. Additionally, I considered taking a fourth subject for A-Levels. Any recommendations?

I'm simply so confused. I read a few articles where a fourth topic was not advised, however in my situation, I am choosing a fourth subject as a backup. like I would have another grade to make up the difference, incase if I don't perform well on any of the topics. I'm not sure if my strategy will work or if I'll put too much pressure on myself.

I think the main concern is that doing a 4th subject is going to make balancing the workload and scoring high grades difficult. If you feel you can score A*A*A* comfortably with just 3 A Levels, then feel free to do a 4th. If you forsee difficulty getting anything above BBB, then err on doing more than 3.

You then have to balance the fact whether you like the subject and whether you can balance everything else that you would need to do.

Personally, I am advocate of doing more A Levels (I would like to do 10+ myself) if you can handle it, but you have to look at the grades you're getting. The unis won't look beyond the 3 highest grades anyway, so it's not likely going to be that productive or helpful.

That makes sense. I would enrol in the courses, but if I thought I couldn't handle the workload, I would abandon the subject which would be a strain. Cool, isn't it?

Yep. It's your call and education.

Outside of the entry requirements for the law degrees that you specificlally want to do, do what you feel appropriate.

I would not recommend that combination of subjects. Firstly, it doesn't matter what area of law you eventually want to specialise in - your A-level subjects are irrelevant by that stage, as that will be after you finish your initial undergraduate degree (in law or otherwise). So you shouldn't choose A-levels based on wanting to do "corporate law" anyway, you should choose them based on the degree you intend to do to pursue a career in law (which as noted need not be a law degree - even before the introduction of the SQE formally making it so any grad can qualify as a solicitor, the SRA polled solicitors and found 50% had done a non-law degree then a conversion course).

Note that for any degree, there is normally no benefit in taking 4 A-levels - you don't get "bonus points" for extra A-levels. You should just aim to do 3 A-levels and do as well as you can in those. For a law degree specifically, they usually do not have specific subject requirements but it is important to understand law is a formally academic subject, so they will primarily be looking for traditionally academic A-level subjects. A-level Accounting is usually not considered a traditionally academic subject.

Additionally, the combination of business studies and economics at A-level is often advised against and considered less competitive by some unis (e.g. LSE) due to overlapping content - historically some unis would actually not consider them both as part of a 3 A-level subject combination (and would have viewed you as having done only 2 A-levels). So I would absolutely not recommend taking both. Of the two, sometimes business studies is considered by some unis (such as LSE) as a "non-preferred" subject, whereas economics is widely accepted as a traditionally academic A-level (although really of no specific relevance to law, corporate or otherwise).

Therefore, for applying to a law degree I would recommend you choose 3 A-level subjects including at least two traditionally academic subjects (e.g. essay based subjects, sciences, maths, etc - not applied or vocational subjects like accounting or ICT or electronics), and only taking one of A-level Economics or A-level Business Studies. You may also want to look specifically at university webpages as some have preferred subject lists (e.g. LSE, UCL, and for law specifically Birmingham, although the latter two are quite expansive in considering most subjects preferred). If you wanted to do another degree first due to it being of more intellectual interest to you (e.g. marine biology, Egyptology, anthropology, linguistics, whatever floats your boat) then you should aim to meet whatever requirements they have.
