I advise you to do English combined or better yet English Language. English Language was extremely practical and interesting, you will learn about language and power, language and gender and technology etc. which I think would complement your psychology classes. Lit has some good reads in it but i didn't take that much away from it tbh.

Check the courses you are thinking of on unis websites to see if they specify any particular subjects. Those subjects sound fine though.

Hey! I'm Elena, a 2nd year Business Management (Marketing) student at the University of Surrey.

I think that's a good choice and mix of A-Levels. I don't know if you have a degree you've thought about doing at uni already? If you're doing business as one of your A-Level subjects, then you might want to do Business Management at uni. Having business as one of your a-levels is definitely a good base. Surrey asks for BBB at A-Levels but not for specific subjects. You can check out the course and specific requirements here. You can study Business Management and specialise in a specific area of business by choosing a course like Business Management (Entrepreneurship) or Business Management (HRM).

I'm really enjoying my course and have some really interesting modules and good lecturers. The campus is amazing and soo pretty! Can't wait to be back and to walk around campus with my friends!

Hope that helped. Don't hesitate to ask me anything!

Believe it or not I actually already looked at business management (HRM) at Surrey and decided that I was pretty sure that I wanted to go to Surrey 😂 it’s amazing that of all people someone studying pretty much the same degree I was looking at, at the same university replied 🤯. Thank you for your response it’s much appreciated, and your opinions on the course so far and the Surrey campus are really useful.
Yes they are a good selection
