As far as I'm aware you don't need to do any specific subjects to do law at uni so it should be fine

There are NO specific A level subjects required for Law - you just need three high grades.
So choose 3 subjects you will enjoy studying and where you feel confident of A grades.

And look at some other social science degree subjects as well - Politics, Social Policy, International Relations etc - they might interest you more than Law.

Hi there @heavenlyfallen

It is nice to hear that you are thinking about you University options. :smile:

Those are good choices for getting into a law degree. (There are no required subjects for entering a law degree, rather it focuses on what grades you acheive). However, I find that any essay writing subjects will be really helpful. A law degree mainly has a lot of coursework and exams that are essays based, so any experience that you can get with writing will be good. :smile:

So focus on achieving good grades in your studies and gaining some work experience will make a good application. :smile:

Hope this helps.

They are great A-levels for law as they are essay based. No point doing 4 though, as it gives you no advantage. Drop one that you enjoy the least, or you think you will get the lowest grade in. Doing an EPQ would be better than a 4th, particularly for the hyper competitive unis where you need a lot of super curiculars to get in.

I have some concerns your first 3 are too similar. LSE for example dont like English Language and Literature as separate subjects. Do some research into this and what other universities look at. Take 3 not 4 A levels.
