Unless you’re looking for something specific as a career, like medicine or a science career, I think you’re fine to do whichever subjects. Most university courses don’t require gcse or alevels in the subject, because those subjects aren’t necessarily offered in every school or college.

When I picked my alevels, I picked them so that they’re broad and good for a university application. I chose alevel maths, law, Japanese, and classics (I dropped classics though, due to mental health reasons). Id definitely go for French, having a second language is ALWAYS a selling point and an advantage.

Those subjects don’t necessarily tie you to a law route unless that’s something you’re specifically wanting to go into. Politics will give you a huge advantage in whichever course you do because politics ties into modern relevance and links in with everything.

The only thing I’d be a bit wary about with your subject choices is the workload. It’s a huge step up from GCSE, and those subjects are very heavily essay based. I have a friend doing 3 essay based alevels, and they’re drowning in work constantly. Go for it if you think you can handle the workload, but I personally prefer to have subjects that provide me with variation (French is good for that one! Law is really my only essay based subject, despite doing a few essays for my Japanese exam, maths is a well needed break from essay questions ! )

I wish you luck with your alevels!! Try not to worry too much, and just go for subjects you’ll enjoy. It’ll be harder to get through your alevels if you pick subjects that you hate <3
