A-level choices for law with spanish law

Thinking about doing Law with Spanish Law at University and I'm currently considering my A-level choices and was wondering if anyone had any advice on good combinations?

I was thinking: History, Spanish, German and Biology but was wondering if I should also take English Lit?

Forget German and Biology. Economics, History, English Literature and Spanish feels like a nicer set of subjects for Law. They will involve a lot of writing and Law has a lot of writing.

Hi

At AS I took: Spanish, French, Business and Geography

I was previously looking at law.

It is important to enjoy your subjects so try to choose subjects you will enjoy but at the same take into consideration what your course needs. Everyone says 2 languages are insanely hard, they are difficult but European languages also work nicely alongside each other so don't worry about German and Spanish.

They mainly look at your 3 A levels after AS so think which you would drop. English lit is good for law, as is history. And obviously Spanish would be good for Spanish law, but biology isn't necessarily something they would look for but if you think you'd hate English Lit then go for the alternative you have chosen because you'll only end up getting a rubbish grade if you don't enjoy it. Uni's go through 1000's of applications and a lot don't even look at the subjects and just look at the grades.

It might be worth taking a look at current courses for Spanish law and what they require. As you probably know law A level isn't a necessity but may help too.

Hope this helps,

James

Cheers for the reply, it was helpful!

I thought Biology would be good as it shows versatility. I could always do 5 AS-levels and then do English Lit as well.

yeh you certainly have the right mindset! There is no harm in signing up for 5 AS levels, if you are on the course you can drop within the first few months but if you don't enrol on the course then you most probably can't get onto it. So my advice would be to enrol and see how it goes! The only thing now would be to search current course requirements for uni's you like the look of.

I've applied for this course myself, your subject combination looks good to me, but I would advise against taking a 5th AS level. It is just unnecessary stress and doesn't give you any real advantage. Any subjects will do as long as they are reputable. I'm doing Biology, Chemistry and Spanish at A2 and I've got offers from major unis.

Where are you thinking of applying?

I would only do a 5th AS if I really had to but probably wouldn't. I've only really looked at which unis offer the course (which isn't many) and I'm thinking UCL, Edinburgh and maybe Oxford, depending on my GCSE results this summer. For my 4th and 5th choices I'd probably go for Sheffield and then maybe Law on its own somewhere else. Where are your offers from?
