A-level options for law at oxford
Just wondering, in theory could I do;
Maths,Physics,Resistant materials, and PET (Philosophy,ethics,theology)
Then do law at oxford?
I will be aiming for
A*A*A*A* and have the GCSE grades and work ethic to get as such.
Just will oxford UNI accept this?

You would need to be good at writing essays, especially since the LNAT includes an essay question that the admissions tutors read.
Where else do you want to apply? LSE? UCL? KCL? SOAS? QMUL? Durham? Warwick? Bristol? York? Nottingham? Manchester? Leeds?

On top of excellent grades you would also need good super-curriculars to show your greatest interest in law,

I've got extra curriculars sorted;
Volunteering for 3 years
Work experience
Silver and Gold DofE

None of those, except perhaps subject-relevant work experience, will be relevant to the admission decision. Academic achievement and academic potential are the key things. These are assessed by exam results, predicted results, personal statement, entrance tests, and interviews. Super-curricular activities may assist. Extra-curricular activities are worth doing, but don't impact on admissions.
The academic standards at Cambridge are pretty much the same as those at Oxford . The various university league tables that people go on about here are fairly meaningless and shouldn't be regarded as authoritative.
It is not necessary to do four A levels and it might be better to focus on three. The subjects chosen don't matter, so long as they are rigorous academic subjects. It's a good idea to take at least one subject which requires a lot of essay writing, because as an Oxford undergraduates you are called on to write zillions of essays.

What is this "super-curriculars" that everyone keeps mentioning?
I am assumed theses were just a different name for "extra curriculares" but now in second guessing that.
Can anyone explain please?

Take English lit or history (get rid of physics and resistant materials). You are recommended to take a heavy essay subject writing for law it will also probably help for LNAT and when you’re actually at university.

Another option would be to aim for a STEM degree with a view to becoming an intellectual property lawyer. You could obtain a GDL after completing a non-law degree. Lawyers dealing with patents often have STEM degrees. For example, Mr Justice Mellor, who just delivered a detailed judgment in the Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin case, has a degree in Engineering from Cambridge and practised at the IP Bar before becoming a Judge.

Thanks,
But I am far more interested in criminal law (barrister/solicitor) than any other parts of law so I probably will end up doing a law degree.

PET is classified as an essay subject so can't I just take this, and I like it far more as well

True, but do you really want to take 4? Resistant materials especially with absolutely not help your chances nor will physics (probably). Taking history or English lit would likely improve your essay writing and analysis skills which are useful for law and the LNAT.
But to be honest you’re right do whatever you enjoy most; but surely if you really enjoy RM, physics and maths you should do a materials science degree right? But yeah do whatever you want to do sorry for trying to influence your choices
