this will depend on the course and the university. It would be worth looking at entry requirements for the courses you might want to study as some will have specific subject requirements and some won’t

what grades do you have?
what do you want to do for a-level?
what subjects seem to be your only options for a-level?
what do you want to do in the future?

so at the moment I'm only stuck with 5s and 4s and like one 6 in English language i wanted to pick English lit , maths and geography for A-levels . the subjects my school gave me as options were like law , business , psychology or sociology (basically all essay based subjects ) and there's also Art and IT . I don't like law so I'm not sure about that option . I am interested in the aviation industry so idk what will work out ??

You also need GCSE English and Maths (grade 9 4 / A* - C) or Level 2 equivalents.

business has a little bit of numbers involved, i think it’s a good subject for any profession. art isn’t something you can really do unless you enjoy it. IT also includes numbers. if i were you i’d pick sociology to replace geography (they have similarities), business or IT to replace maths, law to replace english lit but if you don’t like law then don’t choose it.
