A Level Subjects for Medicine: Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Human Biology

Can I do Medicine with Chemistry, Biology, Psychology and Human Biology. I dont want to do Maths because I know I will struggle with it. Anyone suggest any other good subjects??

Anyone????

Well I know people take Biology and Chemistry when doing medicine so your choices are clearly good. I am not sure about the other two but can`t see a reason why not if you get high grades. I would ask one of the med students to be sure though.

Psychology is a good 4th subject, not see as strong as physics and maths but still pretty good. Doing bio + human bio may be seen as just 1 a-level by some unit. Note that human bio is seen as 'soft' also.

Can I just ask why you are doing Biology & Human Biology?

Im thinking about dropping Human Biology after doing AS. I thought the more science subjects I do it'll be better and Im really interested in Biology.

I didn't even know that a level existed, I wouldn't bother with both just do bio. They might not like it because it doesn't show you are well rounded and it might not be counted as a separate A-level, I heard some med schools count maths and further maths as 1.5 A levels instead of two, bio and human bio might be the same. Maybe do maths? or anything else you might enjoy.

As above taking two subjects so similar may not count. You may want to contact the universities.

But most universities do accept human biology as I am currently taking this so it's up to you which one you want to take up.
