I am looking for some advice concerning A-Level choices. I am hoping to study law at oxbridge in the future but am first needing to choose my A-Levels. Currently, I have selected History, Politics, French and Maths (though I do have the opportunity to change) and I guess my question is: are these suitable subjects to choose, and am I losing out by not doing English. Though I am in no against English, I feel I would enjoy the other subjects more after looking at the courses and potential teaching arrangements, but is this a mistake and should I instead choose English.

Also, 3 A Levels is very hard work, so possibly reconsider 4 A Levels only if you would like to do so. Most sixth forms/colleges allow you to drop and pick up other subjects when you've been in a couple lessons, so maybe do go to an English Lit class and see how you get on, ask the teacher of what it will include etc etc

Thank you for the advice. To be honest I thought that it would be how you have described it, with English being favoured but not entirely necessary.
Also, for sixth form we have to start with 4 a levels and then can drop to 3 after a half term or so and so I will definitely consider dropping a subject if I find the workload too much or don’t enjoy a subject as much as I thought.

Hey, i think humanities subjects are preferred and most uni's have a 'preferred subject list' in A levels, however for Law I believe there are no required subjects to take at A level. History and Politics are both good choices as they include a lot of essays and reading which is essential when studying Law, I also know English Lit is favoured considerably however it should not affect your chances in getting a place at uni.
