heyy everyone.
so I'm in year 11 and have just chosen my a- level options.
the definite 3 i have chosen are:
history, sociology and politics + an epq.
now, i am also going to do one of the following as a fourth a- level:
philosophy *or* ancient history.
i'm just not sure which one to do!
i don't know if doing 4 including ancient history and history may be too similar- will top unis see them both as different respectable a- levels? or should i do philosophy?
any opinions would be appreciated! thanks!
(i'm looking to study law or history at uni- 90% law!)
(what do you think of my subject combination- respectable?)

Look at what subjects are required for law or history in uni and see if philosophy or ancient history comes up more if it doesn’t come up as a required pick the one u prefer or if there’s on ur better at so it’ll make the over a level experience easier cos if one is easier u don’t have to stress as much/get extra help hope that helps

there's no requirements for history or law- only says an 'essay based subject' is 'useful.'
but both the subjects are essay based and traditional!
got no idea which to go with- only worried history and ancient history aren't differentiated enough- but is philosophy well- respected?
just absoloutley clueless!
thanks for the help

If u know ur gonna do history then do ancient history cos then you’ll have a wider array of knowledge going in to uni but if ur gonna do law maybe philosophy as philosophy and ethics obviously play a part in law and can give u more information in other areas which can help in uni but that’s just what I would do in my opinion and a suggested

And if you do choose 4, I think Philosophy would look better than Ancient History due to the overlap issue - Philosophy would give more breadth to your studies.

disagree with ^^. it's a fourth subject, it doesn't matter if it looks as good as philosophy because it's extra. id say do it, it'll probably help u w history so you'll get better grades.
if youre doing 3, philosophy.
if youre doing 3, philosophy.
