Entry Requirements and BA

I'm a non-UK student interested in studying psychology in Scotland. I don't think I fulfill all the high school-level entry requirements for the course HOWEVER I'll have a bachelor's degree in another subject. Does this help weighing up the high school requirements in my application? Thank you very much!

You'll have to contact the admissions department of your chosen universities in order to see whether they would accept you. My guess is that it depends on the relevance of your first degree. If it's irrelevant, it would serve as a very strong indication of your ability to cope with university work, but says nothing of your ability in psychology. If it is relevant (biology, sociology etc.) then they may accept it in place of the A level qualifications.
