Hey
@ZeeZ29 Like others have said, it's a good idea to check the degree requirements for different universities for what they are looking for in an application.
At Essex to study LLB Law, you would need A Level grades ABB with one of those being an essay-based subject. Your Law A Level should count as an essay subject. There are no specific requirements for what your other 2 A Levels should be. There are so many different types of Law degree, some are combined for example you could do a degree in law & human rights, law & politics, law & philosophy, etc.
Have a look at our different Law undergraduate degrees. Scroll down to October 2024 for the courses you're looking at and it will give you the entry requirements, as the 2023 courses are in the clearing process right now which will have different information on them.
https://www.essex.ac.uk/subjects/lawIt is important to take your own abilities into account. If you think you will get a much higher grade like a A in Textiles, then that could be more beneficial to your uni application than a C or below in politics or some other subject.
Are there any open days at the sixth form you're hoping to do A Levels at? They might be able to give you some advice on what to expect from different subjects as it is a big academic jump from GCSE, especially as there are subjects like politics that you won't have had much experience in so far that aren't taught at GCSE level. They would have students go on to study law and could advise on the subject combos that past-students have done to get accepted onto a law degree. It's not always law/politics/history although that is a common combo.
I had a friend in sixth form who studied English and Art at A Level and went on to get a first class law degree, so it is possible.
It is important to study what you enjoy, as you are more likely to achieve a high grade in a subject that you enjoy rather than doing it just for the degree.
Best of luck!
