Law normally has no subject specific entry requirements (ignore anyone insisting that you must take a subject like English Literature and/or History and/or Politics). Edit: also ignore anyone who will babble on or allude to the idea of “strong” vs “weak” subjects. Universities won’t care that you’ve picked Philosophy or say Sociology over History or Psychology for example unless they have a list of preferred vs non-preferred subjects and your subjects are listed under “non-preferred”.

You simply need 3 A-level subjects (usually any but always best to check university course pages) then meet the entry requirements.

What subjects do you personally prefer/want to do? Or what subjects do you think that you’ll get the best grades in (any subjects, they don’t necessarily need to be all essay/humanity based).

Those subjects sound fine by me.
As long as you get the grades required, you will be fine.

Most unis not care about what you subject you do, just grades.
