Biology for a Psychology Degree
I sorted my time table out today for my Access Course due to start in September.
Upon being asked what I wanted to do to get my time table filled in, I said Psychology and Biology. The lady gave me a weird look and told me that it is an unusual combination, it didn't sound very positive which then gave me doubts.
I chose my Biology modules anyway, and ended up with Biological Concepts and Health Studies. I could choose 2 out of 3, the third was Life Sciences I think which was theory based.
I only chose Biology because Psychology at degree level covers a fair amount of Biology. So seeing as that I know nothing about it, I thought choosing it will help prepare me.
Have I done the right thing, or should have I gone for something more realistic like Sociology?

Biology is probably more featured in mainstream psychology than sociology is- i.e. cognitive neuroscience, or evolutionary psychology, so its a fine choice.

Biology will help you with Psychology. There's a lot of biological based psychology in my degree and having done an AS in Biology it came in useful.
Sociology is very boring.. I wouldn't do it. I think Biology will definitely compliment Psychology more.

That's what I thought also, it's a little off putting that she doesn't know that.
Is she just like a secretary for the course? she may not know much about psychology...
