a level help!

i am considering law, whether it be a straight law degree, or a degree first and then a conversion course.

either way, i would like some advice

i am currently choosing my a levels, and have to pick four( i then drop one).

i am deciding between history,english lit, english language, psychology and spanish.

which of the four would you think i should do, or does it not really matter?

If I were in your position I would personally choose History, English Language, Psychology and Spanish. Having done literature myself it was never as much use as the language I did!

I'd say definitely History, English Literature and Spanish; they're all great A levels that are very respected and are common choices for a Law degree :smile:

I do the former two at A2 and they're very enjoyable :biggrin:

I'll happily answer any questions if needs be :h:

thankyou, are you planning to do a degree or not? if so what degree?

i think i will do those three, out of psychology and english language, do you think either one is better to do? possibly psychology to show a slightly different skill?

You're welcome :smile:

any would be fine though so don't worry if you decide against those 3, take which you feel will be best :biggrin:

I'm hopefully studying a combined honours in History and Biology from September :smile:

If I were you, I would go for psychology as it could keep a couple more doors open, and as you said, show different skills :biggrin:

either would be perfectly okay though :smile:
