    IB Subjects for Psychology?
    Hi,
    In the future, I'd like to pursue a career in Clinical/Counseling Psychology, what would be the best subject combination for this? I plan on studying in the Netherlands, so Math Studies is not an option, and neither is IB Psych or Philosophy ( my school doesn't offer it )
    Any ideas?

    HL Psychology
    HL Biology
    HL Chemistry
    SL Maths
    SL English
    SL Chinese (or whatever your second language is).

    I think that's a pretty decent subject combination.

    I'm going to UCL in September to study psychology and I took:

    HL Biology, chemistry and social anthropology
    SL maths, Danish A1 and English A2

    Social anthropology is quite uncommon, but I think any of the group 3 subjects are fine

    So yeah .. those subjects worked for me your options are pretty open if you want to study psychology, but most places say you need to have either maths, chem or bio at HL. But don't do HL maths

    Completely agree with CathrineS
    HL Biology, chemistry and social anthropology are a must
    SL Math is necessary given a focus on stats
