mr.nobody Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi, In the next school year I will be a pre-IB student, but we already have to choose paths of subjects which we would like to stretch. My goal is to study something connected with journalism; as far as I'm concerned the best way is to study Media and Communications in LSE. So therefore I am asking you if you could check if my subjects are properly chosen. HL English A lit HL Economics HL VA SL Maths SL Design Technology SL History The path which I'll probably choose is Economics, Design Technology and Visual Arts Also, is it possible to have either history and economics? Thank you Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Why are you doing HL VA? I've only heard bad things about the workload. Other than that, your subjects are ok as there is no mandatory subject for journalism in many cases and you'll probably just want practice in writing long form pieces of work.

Gaby Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 That's not a combination that will work, you're missing a second language. You will have to either drop history/economics, or VA, and replace that with second language. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomenclature Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 My advice is @cutifiedwaffles's advice. Take History HL. It will allow you to write longer, non-fiction essays that will develop your writing. It's not completely analogous to journalism but many of the skills are similar in regards to the research and writing required. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
