If you’re interested in a career in the legal industry, and especially if you’re aiming to become a qualified lawyer (e.g. a barrister or solicitor), it’s highly likely that you’ll be attending university

Being accepted onto a course to study law at university will require a great deal of hard work and dedication. Entry requirements tend to be high, UCAS personal statements need to be polished, and, for some universities (especially Oxbridge), admissions tests and interviews need to be aced. 

However, one point that might go under-the-radar is which A Level subjects you should study if you are interested in a legal career. There are a range of subjects which are well-known for being attractive to further legal education providers – subjects known for their academic rigour, relevant content knowledge and development of key lawyer skills. These include A Level subjects such as:

  • English Literature
  • History
  • Politics
  • STEM (Maths, Sciences, etc.)
  • Economics
  • Languages
  • Law

Which A Level subjects known for being in-demand within legal circles best suit your own interests, too? Take our quiz below to find out.
