Which A level for Politics degree

[stilldumdedumming]

I wonder if anyone can help here. My ds was ill as a child and more or less home educated. He's pretty academic though and very dedicated. So far he has an English GCSE grade A, and 2 A levels Politics A grade and Sociology B grade. He tends to study without tuition as it's very expensive. So he just sits the exam.

He should complete a Cert HE this year at a specialist music college. He has no music grades - so no UCAS points there.

So he would like to do a politics degree and thinks he will need another A level (I know his GCSEs are not enough but he's hoping that will be ok).

What third subject could he do? It needs to be exam only as getting non exam coursework marked is a pain and expensive (otherwise he would do English).

Any thoughts at all?

There are ways to sit A level history and English literature, you have to pick the right boards though. For example, CCEA history A level is only exams. Similar for English Literature, CAIE is solely exams.

@LargeLegoHaul Thank you. I had no idea. I'll get him to contact the exam officer at the exam centre he has used. She's excellent on advice.
