The Russell Group - a group of 20 of the top universities has published advice on A Level combinations for different degree courses. The good news is that Philosophy and Religious Studies are both considered "hard" subjects which means a highly respected qualification. The group suggests these subjects could be particularly useful for: Computing (!), Education, English, History, Philosophy, Politics, Religious Studies, Theology and History of Art. They are also considered useful as an essay based subject. Subjects such as Law and Music often require essay based subjects.
