Help Law universities

I am currently in Year 12 studying history, politics, and law and have achieved B, C, and C (in that order), but my teachers may raise my grades to A, B, or B predicted, as I received a high B and C for history and politics and year around have received steady Bs, and sometimes A. Would there be any universities that would give me an offer for these grades as I am interested in law, IR, politics, and maybe history?( If you know any course similar to them please tell me ).

As I had a look at quite a lot of university websites in regard to what they would need, which is mostly A*AA or AAA,

Although I do mostly want to study law, I don't know if I can apply to any good universities. I have had a look into the foundation years, which I don't mind doing, as I have been told that it does matter what law university you go to so any advice would be helpful thank you ^^

Unless you’re eligible for contextual offers, you may struggle to meet the requirements for a RG university if you wish to study law. There are plenty of top non-RG universities with slightly lower requirements but many of them still require grades around the AAB - BBB range. A foundation year at one of these universities sounds like a good and realistic idea, however the requirements for history, politics and IR tend to be lower than they are for law, so you might be able to get away with having lower predicted grades if you apply to one of those courses. Your grades only make up one part of your application so keep this in mind.

City, University of London is a decent non-RG university with ABB as the entry requirements for their law course.

Oxford also has a foundation year in law with the entry requirements being BBB.

A response * I thought about what forum i posted it on, and thought this one was more fitting afterwards.
