Law A Level Option Please Help

Is it really necessary for me to do law a level?

I would like to do a law degree or possibly something sciency to do with genetics and fertilisation

Here are my a level options
Most likely I will choose: history, law, biology, maths

Or option two is history, law, bio and Chen

My preferred option is number one

Thank you for reading

Law A level is not required. Neither is doing 4 A levels - you should aim to do three and excel in them.

Nope! No Law A Level required! I was considering a law degree while choosing my options. Very few courses have requirements other than a good essay based subject. So no need for law at A Level! Keep your options open. And no, it doesn't advantage you, having spoken to Law Professors some say they have to unteach some concepts taught at A Level in degree. Hope this helps!

Thank youuuuu, which three would be the best for law?

Thank you so much. What a levels did you end up doing?

Haha well... Maths, Further Maths and Chemistry- with an EPQ! I realised I couldn't give up science and hate writing essays... In year 13 at current and loving in, Chemical Engineering degree here I come.

From the options OP is considering, history is the only essay-based subject Furthermore, I personally believe one essay-based subject is still suitable provided that the other two are equally strong A-levels (e.g. maths or science)

Uni's favour essay-based subjects therefore History combined with bio, chem or maths would make you a more desirable law student.

What do you mean by strong A levels? Are those two strong because they’re facilitating subjects?

Thank you so much- I think I shall do history, bio, maths then

What out you against law then?

Good question... I'm quite a logical person and prefer to plan things meticulously and know exactly what I want to do way before I need to start making plans and putting stuff into place. I got my GCSE results and then I felt the pressure of where next - if you get me. From my experience of A Levels now, keep it broad, play to strengths and when you finally decide on your course/realise your passion it's likely the subjects you'll have chosen will meet up! I think I liked the idea of being a lawyer as it is quite logical, also maybe tv shows slightly influenced my aspirations (silly I know). My best advice to anyone, sure or not, is to keep researching, keep trying taster sessions, talking to students, getting work experience etc!
