Ancient History or History Course at University

I really want to do Ancient History and History at university and I know that some universities offer joint courses. Due to circumstances beyond my control at GCSE i ended up getting a D in History instead of an A (which i was predicted). I am not sure whether i should apply for history as I am worried i will get no offers if they look at my GCSE grades.

I am currently doing Classical Civilisation at a level and i am predicted AAA

Get your referee to mention it and the circumstances.

You can also informally contact your chosen unis and take their guidance.

Couldnt find an easy list so you will have to look up the joint honours courses yourself.
