URGENT: A level combination for philosophy at university??(

If you want to do philosophy at uni, I would suggest: r.s, history, English.

Straight A*s in all subjects so I am open to anything that will help me get into philosophy at a Russell group uni. Also I dislike maths.

Hi @Anyazz, A lot of Philosophy courses don't specify which A levels need to be taken, typically Admissions Tutors are happy to take students who have studied a wide range of different subjects at A level. That being said, it's usually advisable to take at least one essay based A level if you can, as this will prepare you well for the type of assessments you will encounter on a Philosophy degree.

Taking all that into consideration, I would advise taking the subjects that you think you will enjoy the most and/or have a good chance of getting strong grades in I hope this helps but let me know if you have any questions! - Molly

Surely you've had to choose your A levels in your sixth form application?

Yeah I have, I am free to change it until school starts…

That’s a great combination actually, thank you for your help!

Np! What a levels have you chosen already?

But I would do maths if I had to

Apparently, though I wasn't told this when I chose my A-level subjects, they do quite like maths (and chemistry?) because it displays the logical thinking necessary for the more analytic style of philosophy. That along side some essay-based subjects might be a good combination. Fundamentally though, as someone else mentioned, just choose subjects that you think that you'll enjoy studying.
