A levels for Law/Business

Are A levels in Business, English Language, and History suitable for a law and/or Business related degree at university?
Will my offer be declined? (I'm looking at Russel group uni's - not Oxbridge)
Yes as English and History are both essay based subjects which is what they look for.
Law does not require any specific subjects - just high grades.

Its useful if you are doing an essay-based subject - English, Sociology, History etc - simply because you'll have good writing, reading, analysis skills, but it is not essential.

Unis typically say History and English! By English do they mean English lit?

They don’t really specify but I would recommend English literature as it is more essay based.

Nonsense. You clearly don't study History.

They asked English language or English literature, not history or English !
