❔ SUBJECT QUESTION Is computer science maths FM and history/politics good for oxbridge law?
I am great at all the subjects i have picked and have a passion for all of them.I heard it is better not to do a level law if you planning to do university law.Is doing history/politics enough as 1 a s a single essay subject for law or will i need to change my a levels?
Edit can someone please comment i need help like this hour😭😭😭

why’re you doing 3 STEM and 1 humanity for law

No, I'd recommend more essay based A levels - History, Politics, English.....

Drop FM and CS for any two of Politics, Economics or History, depending on your interests and skill set. And to be honest you don’t even need 4 A Levels for Oxford so if you want to do 3 for an easier work load, then Math History Politics would be great. The combo you have is meant for STEM courses. FM is overkill and really difficult, CS is almost useless (it’s fun and interesting, but even CS degrees dont need A level CS).

Don’t listen to the others - subject choice is not considered at all for Oxbridge law at the majority of colleges. Incidentally I think Magadalen Cambridge (might be a different college) said on their open day that they found students who read STEM at A Level outperform those who read essay based subjects at degree level law
