I wanna go into criminal journalism, and thinking of taking a levels English lit, history and psychology. Would that be the best selection? Dunno whether to do law as well

Basically I think I'd like to do Journalism at university.

I'm not sure what to study at A level, and then which university to go to.

Predicted GCSEs

5A*
4A
1B

Subjects I would recommend are things like: A level English Literature, Media studies, Sociology, Politics, History etc. Subjects that require a lot of analysis like that would fit well into journalism. A Russell group university for Journalism is 'Sheffield University Department of Journalism Studies'.

One thing that I would recommend is perhaps doing an English BA (undergrad) so that your options are not limited to journalism and then do a Journalism postgrad because you can still become a journalist this way.
