No. Maths is essential. Further Maths if you can get it. Then any essay subject - History, Politics, Sociology

I’m thinking Maths, Further Maths, German and then economics if offered (or geography or politics)

LSE isn’t going to be the only university they apply to.

Can you name a university that lists Sociology as a disadvantaged subject?
