I know a language would be extremely useful, in my case i'd have to take french, im just concerned that it will be too much for me :P
im considering chemistry, biology, History and Psychology atm, but
french, politics and maths are at the back of my mmind

Perhaps: Chemistry/Biology, History, Maths and French?

I work for the "civil service" as we call it.
Theres no specific qualification, it depends as with all jobs on what you want to specialise in.
I'm a translator, because I'm good with languages, having being bilingual since being a very young child (english and ukrainian) + I can speak french and russian fluently.
Totally depends on what you want to do within the service, its an organisation like any other, and a myriad of different positions.

The qualification and associated website are real, you just need to find it.
Depends what you want to do for the intelligence services... do you want to be an operator, officer, field worker, IT technician, secretary, HR....?

If you really wanted to work for them, you would have done your research and know that they don't like taking on applicants who have made their intention to apply know to anyone beyond parents/siblings/partners.
And if you have any secrets (closet homosexual/criminal history/drug use) you can kiss working there goodbye. They won't take on anyone who could be blackmailed.
In answer to your question - anything that shows you can think for yourself and that you are resourceful. So english, philosophy, religious studies, history, psychology. What you specialise in at degree level and what skills/trades you pick up are more important than A Level choices.
I'd say at least two foreign languages, mathematics and eng lit/Hhistory

Well it is quite secret, they only let potential MI5ers look at it and take the exam... even the invigilators are sworn to secrecy...

I'd say Chem, History, Maths, French - all very well respected subjects. I'd really recommend Politics A-level, but I don't think it's really looked upon as favourably as History, despite actually being the same amount of work.
Listing A-level subjects is superfluous as applicants will be required to attend an assessment center where they use their own tests. There isn't a list of acceptable subjects. As has already been said, a language A-level would be most useful but even then you need to be fluent in your chosen language, so an A-level isn't that impressive in this context. I'm fully aware that this is a student website but people need to get out of the disposition of thinking it's a UCAS application.
Study whatever A-levels you like.
