Should I do BA or BsC
My predicted grades are A*A*A* in history, politics and biology (I got AAA in my AS levels) and A*(epq)
And I want to apply for politics and IR - however, should I apply for a BsC or a BA, I've heard BsC is preferred by employers, what would set me up the best for actually getting a job when I graduate? I have no idea how to choose!!!

It's not going to make any difference at all to employers. The name of a degree is irrelevant. All Cambridge degrees are BAs, even in the sciences.
The course structure may be slightly different, or the options available, but in the case of Politics and IR if a uni is offering a choice, it is probably for internal, historical reasons. Look at the content closely though, and make sure there isn't a mandatory stats module or something in the BSc stream.
