A levels for international relations degree?

I need some examination advice. I also need some help with my a level choices.

I want to go to lse or St. Andrews to study either history or international relations. Firstly, I want to know whether my A level choices are appropriate for the universities I plan to go to and the courses that I will be studying:


History
English Literature
Chemistry
Politics and government
Business Studies ( economics isn't
offered!!!!)

I am worried because the bottom two are subjects that are blacklisted by lse. I am predicted three A grades at A level. Also, are the subjects appropriate for international relations?

becuase you are doing economic maths is not needed i would do geography.

i am also in the same boat and think of doing:
Economics
Communication and Culture
Goverment and Politics
Art (Fun)

Are these good choices

I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here...I'm doing;

Drama-(I know it is not advised but i love it and i am good at it)
History
Economics

and i can't decide between maths or geography...I'm predicted an A in both. I enjoy Geography more but i have heard maths is better for UNI especially if i change my mind about international relations and want to do economics...Any ideas?

Politics is such a soft A level subject

History basically covers politics anyway

you should do:
English Literature
History

then any others out of the following really: geography, maths, french, spanish, physics, RS, chemistry, biology

it really doesn't matter what else you do as they are strong subs but seriously politics is weak

History and Politics are totally seperate! History doesn't teach you how the British government works now.

what i'm saying is though that you don't need politics to do a politics degree. just like you don't need Law A level to do a Law degree.

However, subs like Eng Lit and Hist are so invaluable they show a wider range of thinking. politics is a soft a level at the end of the day, everybody knows for A level you do traditional subjects and then specialize for degree. politics degree is fine, it's just the a level is not traditional.
