which one do you think you'll enjoy more?
I heard Law is a trash A Level, your choice though.

1. What subjects do you enjoy the most at the moment?
2. What subject is more beneficial in order to stude finance and economics at uni?
3. Do you ONLY want to pick between Geography and Law?

And geography is versatile and it builds on my gcse work

Since you don't know which one you enjoy most, then what about which one are you the strongest at?

first of all Law at A level is not a particularly respected subject

secondly Law at any level is never "interesting", it's an infamously dry subject. do geog

for economics and finance I think you should do maths, f maths, economics and one other subject. history or geog

are you sure you're happy to go for a degree in Economics without Economics A level or Further maths? i mean it's perfectly possible but I'd hope you at least did Econ GCSE and are good at maths so you know what you're going in for. can't speak for Finance.

geog would be better as human geography has some links with macroeconomics but tbh it won't make much of a diff :smile:
