Which A-Levels for LLB Law and Spanish?

I'm starting sixth form in 2 weeks and I have a dilemma of what my 3rd A-Level Subject should be. I'm planning on taking LLB Law and Spanish at Uni so I've chosen History and Spanish A-Level and, after much debate, I chose Economics as my third. However, I'm wondering if I made a mistake choosing Econ as it's not directly linked to Law. I'm wondering if something like Politics or English Lit might be more suitable. My GCSEs allow me to take any subject at sixth form so it's down to what subject is most appealing to universities. What should I do?
Pick a subject which you enjoy and think you can do well in :smile:
Law doesn’t have requirements just prefers essay subjects so history’s got it covered and Spanish will be fine for the Spanish bit of your degree so you’ll already have met the subject requirements with those two making your third a free choice basically.
If you’re unsure of subjects then have a look through the spec for the course and watch a few YouTube videos from previous students to see if the course appeals to you.
If you are struggling to choose, write down all the subjects offered by your school then go through and cross out all the ones you dont meet the requirements for, then all the ones you dont like (look through specs and watch videos for this) then cross through any subejcts you struggled with at gcse but still meet the requirements for. You should then be left with a few ideas which you can consider and hopefully that makes an easier choice for you. Sorry if that overcomplicates things for you but it’s how i chose my subjects and people I’ve recommended it to before have found it helpful!
Hope this helps and happy to try to answer any more questions if you have them. Best of luck with your decision and with year 12! Have a great day :smile:

Maths, History and Spanish would allow you to study almost any degree.

It really does not matter which of the three you choose - they are all well-regarded essay subjects. Choose the one you are most interested in and think you will be able to get a good grade in!

I studied law with a language (LLB Law with French Law) at university myself and loved the course - I hope you do too :h:
