a level subjects

what are beneficial a levels to take? my thoughts were english lang/lit, philosophy, business, and politics. i can only choose three for the college sixth form i want to do. and what is a better pathway to take? a more business linked pathway or a more law/political pathway. 😅

All of these subjects would be equally beneficial if you wish to go into law, politics or business. Look through the specifications for each subject and choose the three you feel you would enjoy most.
I would choose Eng lang/lit, philosophy and politics, because universities think business is a ‘weaker’ subject, for example LSE has put business as a ‘non preferred’ subject
