Undergraduate Courses

In response to the people looking for advice on A-level choices: it's critical to get excellent grades, and the best chance of doing so is to do the subjects you like the most.. However, I would be cautious of an IT and business studies combo. One of them is fine, if your other choices are more 'traditional'. Remember that the vast majority of admissions tutors will not have done non-trad A-levels... Regarding A-level Law, make sure you check the admissions criteria of the 10 or so Unis you're interested in before starting your A-levels. Check the prospectus and if in doubt call the Uni's admissions team to ask about their policy. I don't think it's a soft option as such, and students shouldn't be punished for taking a subject on the advice of their teachers. But it genuinely doesn't give new law undergrads a real advantage when starting their courses. If anything, it can prove to be a disadvantage with students who are too used to being spoon-fed material & don't focus on independent study / research. Be savvy whatever you choose!
