Hi!
I'm in year 11 right now and I've chosen history, philosophy, English literature and law for a levels. I want to do law in uni. I've heard that doing law in sixthform is bad and universities don't like it. Also some people told me that the subjects I chose are too much because all of them are essay based and that I should pick something fun. So I was thinking of maybe dropping law and doing art instead. I really love art and I got a B for gcse last year. But art isn't relevant to what I want to do in the future also I'm scared to choose it for A levels because there might be a lot of work for it and it was time consuming in gcse so it must be way more time consuming in a levels. But I'm not sure. any advice? Should I drop law and do art? Is law a level helpful?
Thanks a lot

And surely law is kind of your fun subject, as it is something you are really interested in?

Art is a lot of work for A level, and I wouldn't advise it considering that you aren't looking to take the subject beyond A level.
I'd take A level Politics instead of Law - universities don't like Law A level as they end up having to 'unteach' a lot of the stuff you've learnt as the legal system changes so quickly. A level Politics will help you with your History and goes very nicely with your other subjects. -

never thought of politics do you do it and if you do is it fun and does it require any maths
For a degree in Law you definitely don't need Law A level. A strong selection of subjects (which you already have) will be fine. -

No to law A Level. You don't actually need 4 A Levels - universities only require 3 so if you think taking art would be too much then don't take it.
English literature, history and philosophy are a good mix of subjects and more than enough for Law.Posted on the TSR App. Download from Apple or Google Play -

true but I don't know I want to take 4 just because incase I don't like a subject I can drop it the next year
Although art isn't directly linked with law, it could help you develop skills for your essay based subjects such as analysis and criticism and you may enjoy it too so it's not completely useless.Posted on the TSR App. Download from Apple or Google Play
