First post! Anyway, can anyone help me here please? I am hoping to pursue a career in Journalism primarily but teaching is my fallback option. In university, I hope to study either English or History related subjects, most likely in an university based in the East Midlands. However, would these A levels be sufficient? A Level in English Lang/Lit (combined in 1), History, Government and Political Studies and an AS in Economics.

I am yet to start studying these subjects, so they can be changed.

Like the above poster, I'm keen on doing an English Literature degree at university, and so am suitably doing A-levels in English Literature, History and French. However, for my fourth I'm doing Chemistry because I actually really enjoy it and want to carry it on; I had previously considered Spanish, but I feel as though I'm not that strong at it, and so may not perform that well as I would do in Chemistry.

Is this okay?!

Doesn't this entirely depend on what degree you want to take? To exemplify, Psychology is moderate to weak yet for a Psychology degree it can be very beneficial. It's ridiculous to assert that following this will somehow give you a better chance of studying any degree. Just because you study the coveted; Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology doesn't mean you would be suitable for any degree! You would probably struggle with History or English Literature for instance. Isn't it also peculiar that ALL science subjects are 'strong', yet arts vary in difficulty? Biology is much easier than Psychology, which is just one instance of a mix-up. There is, conspicuously, bias towards sciences which is, evidently, wrong.

What would the 'perfect' subjects be to take for law at a top university (LSE UCL Cambridge etc)?

Im currently taking 5 AS levels: maths, further maths, economics, physics and government & politics, are they good?

Thanks.
