Suitable A Levels to keep options open?

It is. Biology is a way better choice.

Ok, thanks for the advice! Am I right in thinking that to study Psychology at uni it's sensible to take at least one science?

If you like maths then that is always an option

Ahh I really wish I did!! But it's not my strongest subject unfortunately :' I think I'd be better off doing a science - thank you for the help though! xx

I'm in Year 11 at school and have chosen English Literature, Music, German and Philosophy and Ethics to study for A Level next year. However, although I'm trying to keep my options as open as possible (hence the strange mix of subjects, haha) I'm really considering applying to study Psychology at university? So I'm thinking of swapping Phil + Ethics to either Biology or Psychology A Level (as a science subject is often preferred if you're doing a Psychology degree). Anyone got any advice as to which one to choose? I've been told that Psychology A Level (unfairly) may have a bit of a reputation as being a 'soft' subject, so would that affect my options?

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

Read this as it shows you the enabling subjects for Russel Group and amswers your question.

If you really want to keep your options open do maths and one of either chemistry or physics, although from your choice of subjects i doubt you'd like either.

I've applied to study psychology at university so hopefully I can help out. As psychology is now viewed more closer to a hard science than a social science, a science A-level is often required. If you look at the websites of universities you'd possibly consider going to you'll see that they usually have a list of "we'd prefer if you took one of these subjects".
From my experience, psychology hasn't recently been seen as a dumbed down subject, and now actually counts a science angry requirement. Although not necessary, I would highly recommend doing psychology as an A level if you'd want to carry it on to university.
As for broad subjects that keep doors open - usually maths, English language, philosophy, and social sciences like psychology, sociology and politics are seen as pretty neutral. The first two because they basically show that you have basic English and maths skills, which is needed in work, school and life. The other ones I listed are to do with studying people, which is why they're also favoured as quite broad subjects. As for learning a language, it can come in really handy as it shows potential bilinguality, and will also be helpful in life. You can even have joint degrees - I knew someone who did music and Russian, and another person who studies French with politics!
