Are my A-level choices good?

Do you think these subjects complement each other? Thanks a lot

Very similar to mine except I took Economics instead of Drama, I really enjoyed everything I picked. Yours compliment each other very well, although drama may be the odd one out.

If you want to study PPE, have you considered taking History or Philosophy?
Philosophy is included in RS

Stalin's also included in A level History, it's not an A level in Stalinism though. They're two different things and I would recommend having a look at philosophy rather than R.S, from what I've heard it tends to be more respected by universities.

PPE at Oxford states that Maths and History are useful, but are not necessary, and there are no necessary subjects for the course. I have talked to many up at Oxford about this at the open day and they all said that nothing was necessary but History and Maths helped. I would say that your subjects are fine, but perhaps take as your 4th subject History ?
