I I wouldn't be worried about that. I didn't do law at A-level and actually when I was going sort of through the uni as an apprentice, they basically reteach you what you did at law A-level in the first couple of years of your degree. So you're not behind and you don't miss [link removed] terms of psychology being a useful degree, I think law is quite an amenable subject that any skills you can pick up in other subjects are transferable. So I see that you're doing history as well. Your sort of terminology and writing skills from that will be transferable. Likewise with [link removed]'ll be lots of transferable skills that you can bring over to law that might not necessarily be exact matches, but I think the skills that you learn in those subjects definitely are.
