Hayyyy...
I've recently completed my gcse's and wait for the results on the 25th of August, with which I am expecting to recieve grades of majority A's and a few B's. I have made the decision regarding my A-level choices and have settled for a combination of; Sociology, Economics, Biology, Psychology. This choice has changed multiple times and 'Sociology' was orginally 'German' before I faced the reality that I wouldn't enjoy it and don't have enough confidence in it to continue to even AS.
The reason behind my final choices is the fact that I wish to go into speech and language therapy after A-levels. I hope to achieve A's/B's in these subjects and plan to drop Economics after AS, to continue with Sociology, Biology and Psychology.
I completed two weeks work experience at a nursery as part of my school's requirements recently, and this confirmed my future thoughts about speech and language therapy. I plan to develop and expand my work experience with various age groups which would satisfy the needs of a speech and language therapy degree, such as in nurseries, special needs schools, with the elderly and with stroke victims.
The reason for this post was mainly to ask advice on the decisions I have made so far regarding my A-level choices. If I managed to achieve good grades in those subjects and gain relevant work experience- how do you think my chances would bare with gaining access to a competitive speech and language therapy degree? I know conventionally my A-level choices aren't mostly 'traditional' or the best looked upon for most degree subjects, however considering most universities for speech and language therapy request at least one of; Biology, psychology, english language, foreign languages, (and often other social sciences such as Sociology)...which I would then have two or three of- do you think my choices are justified?
Just want some trusted opinions
thankyouuuuu
