Sixthform subjects help

Hi, i am going to start my alevels this september at a grammar school however i did not necessarily meet my predicted gcse grades and thus want to only study 3 alevels. These being litterature, law and history. I am interested in studying law at the university of birmingham, do you think i have chosen a good subject range. Thanks

Yes those 3 work well together if you are aiming for law
Have you looked at the minimum GCSE requirement to do law at birmingham on the ucas website

I think that if you are opting for a degree in science or maths then higher grades will apply, but for the humanities it is easier
