The subjects you pick might differ if you want to go on to study a law degree, or a non-law degree. That being said, whilst there are some more commonly chosen subjects amongst people who go on to study law, there are typically no subject requirements in order to get a place at a law school.  \nA-LEVEL SUBJECTS TO CHOOSE IF YOU WANT TO STUDY A LAW DEGREE  \nThe first question for many people is should I study law at A-level. The short answer is you do not have to have to in order to pursue a legal career. Not every school/college will offer law as an A-level subject, and there are no universities or legal recruiters who require it.  \nSubjects such as History, English Literature and Politics are generally good options to choose as they develop your analytical and critical thinking and writing skills. Foreign languages are also desirable if you think you might want to specialise in some sort of international law later on, whilst maths and science help to demonstrate your ability to solve problems. You will not be penalised if you pick other subjects not listed here.  \nMost universities do not accept general studies or critical thinking as one of your three core A-level subjects, as they are not considered to be traditionally academic.  \nTop Tip: Ultimately, the key thing to remember is that it is important to get good grades in the subjects you do choose in order to secure a place at a well-regarded university. Pick subjects that you enjoy and think you can excel in.  \nA-LEVEL SUBJECTS TO CHOOSE IF YOU WANT TO STUDY A NON-LAW DEGREE  \nThere are no set subjects to choose if you do not want to study a law degree. However, what you do need to think about is whether the entrance requirements to your chosen course are subject-specific. For example, if you want to study a history degree, it is common that you will need to have an A-level in history.  \nACADEMIC STANDARD REQUIRED  \nThis will ultimately depend on what subject you choose and where you want to go to university. If you want to study law, most Russell Group universities require three A’sin your chosen A-level subjects. (The Russell Group is an association of 24 leading UK universities.)  \nIf you want to study a non-law degree, the entrance requirements may differ. They tend to vary depending on the university and the subject you want to study. However, what tends to be required is if you want to study a specific subject, you will need to have an A-level in that subject. Entry into Russell Group universities for humanities, languages, maths or science can range from A*AA, to AAA, AAB, or for some courses, ABB.
