Law is a possibility - it can lead to a thousand different career areas - and does not have any specific A level subject requirements. Its also available as a joint subject degree at some Unis - with Business, with Politics, with Psychology, with American Studies etc :

Hello @chixiiq

There are so many different options you could take for a corporate career, such as business and management or even law. Law is a particularly good subject if you are not completely certain what job you want as you can get almost any job in almost any industry with a law degree due to the transferable skills you develop. Also, law generally leads to many jobs, the majority of which are not in the legal industry.

I would strongly advise that you explore the courses on different university websites for anything which you may be interested in and check the entry requirements for the courses you are interested in.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let me know.

Use UCAS to look into degrees that appeal to you and then visit university websites to find out some more information. Look at where graduates of that course have ended up working too, to help give you an idea of career paths.

Whilst some degrees may have specific subject requirements, there are universities that don't. have those requirements including BU for some courses. Psychology and Sociology are quite broad subjects which lend themselves well to fields such as business, law or even communications (PR and marketing can be quite corporate) so these could be something to explore. Ask yourself, what is my dream job or career field, and then work your way back - what do you need to get into that area?

I hope that helps 😊

Good afternoon,

You may be able to start a corporate course through clearing. Your best way to find out if you can is to register your interest today, and when Clearing reopens on Thursday, 14 August, you will be able to contact the university to ask if they will accept you with these courses and your grades.

The University of Reading has some courses which are available in clearing, which you may like. You can find these here.

You can see how to Apply through Clearing, and Clearing is explained here.
UCAS has a great webpage on "What is Clearing? " to help you understand clearing, in case this is something you choose to do. It's a great alternative to gaining a space at university, and it won't change your university experience at all.
We also have a 2025 clearing thread for students who are thinking about clearing or have any questions about clearing.

I hope this information helps, and you are able to find the course you like.

All the best,
Ella

Hi

Your A‑levels in Biology, Sociology and Psychology actually give you a really solid mix of analytical thinking, understanding people, and problem‑solving which are all brilliant skills for corporate careers. Even if you’ve applied for Diagnostic Radiography, you can still shift career paths.

If you’re sure you’d rather go into a corporate direction, Clearing is a great route. Some of the degrees that you can look out for would be:
BSc Business Management
BSc Accounting and Finance
Economics and management
International management.

You can find more information on these course and even more course through our clearing page :

Happy to answer any more questions you might have !
I hope this helps

Hey, although I can't help with the issue you have said, I have started a student blog for anyone who is studying in the UK. It is made specifically for university students, but can be useful to anyone in education, just got their first job or even anyone who wants to keep up with UK economy news. It would mean the world if you check it out. I wish you all the best and any questions feel free to ask. Here is the thread where the blog is posted. https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7617375&p=100816852

Hi there,

Trying to plan out your degree and career path can be tough!

Searching through university webpages to browse their courses may be a good idea to find something of interest to you. This can be a great way of finding out what appeals to you, and you can then further find out what graduate roles can come as a result of studying that specific degree.

For some ideas, you can always input your A Level subjects into something like this. This can provide you with some popular degree and career paths, potentially suggesting something you haven't considered before.

I hope this helps,
