Do A level History, Sociology and Media studies make a good combination?

[DiscoDiva70]

My ds has chosen these courses for sixth form and is due to start College next week.
He did well in his GCSE's, including a grade 7 in English Lit and Lang, and an A in History. (He will have to resist maths)

Ds isn't really sure what he'd like to do in the future, and I'm unsure if Sociology compliments History or if they're too similar maybe?

I did suggest that he may want to consider choosing English A level instead of Sociology but, at the moment, these (and Media studies are the only courses he wants to do )

Because he hasn't done Media/Sociology, am I assuming rightly (with good studying) that he'll be ok in these subjects given his GCSE results in English and History?

And what routes can he go down in the future with these subjects?
I appreciate any advice!

The issue for me would be the combination of History, Media Studies and Sociology - I'm not a fan of media studies as a subject (because I've spent my entire career working in media) but if someone really wanted to do it, fine. It's just those particular subjects all have quite a similar 'feel' and a similar workload in terms of essay-writing and reading lists

Thank you for your advice everyone
I've spoken to ds about the comments and although he definitely wants to do History and Sociology, he's now not 100% sure about media studies.

piggywaspushed he really doesn't want to go for English lang/lit now as he thinks he'll find it boring. He is interested in learning more about film studies if he does decide not to do media studies after all.

Annandale I asked him about doing a modern language but he's decided against it, and he also doesn't want to try philosophy/ethics as a pp poster suggested.

ErrolTheDragon I don't think he'll try for 4 subjects as he'll have to resit his maths and would probably be too much.

Ds has decided that he's most likely going to go for the subjects he's chosen (definitely History and Sociology) but will try and speak to someone at the College before he's due to start regarding the media studies course, just so that he's certain he's doing whats best for him.

He is lucky to have someone to talk to so openly :)

Do they do film at his college? If they do, he should definitely think about it . It suits those who are able at English and have an interest in society and people.

Piggywaspushed, Thank you

I've always encouraged both dc to always talk and I'm glad they do.
I've just looked on the College website and they do do film studies, although it does mention that the a level courses are full so I'm not sure if he can swap if he does decide he wants to!

He's going to try and speak to someone to get more advice.
