A level options - too soft for top unis?

My dd is in Y11 and is making her choices for sixth form. We seem to be going round in circles discussing the best options for her but she has finally plumped for:

English Lit
Textiles
RE / Philosophy and Ethics
French (reserve choice)

Is this combination OK? She is bright and aiming for unis such as Bristol / Manchester / Bath / Leeds etc...

BB, the original question was 'Are these A level options too soft for top universities?' not will archaeology and anthropology get you far in the fashion industry.

This girl shows that taking textiles will not disadvantage you even if you do decide to go down the highly academic route.

OP, encourage your DD to do the A level she enjoys as good grades will open more doors to her.
