criminal psychology

I am very interested in taking criminology or some sort of forensic psychology further as a career or uni course. I am currently choosing my a levels and wanted to know whether I needed biology? (I don't particularly enjoy all aspects of it) and what other things I may need to take?
maybe psychology and health and social care?

For this you can essentially do any a levels and you'd be fine. You need a BPS accredited degree which SOME unis require at least two science a levels (which can include psychology and maths). Forensic psychologists don't work in investigating crimes though they work in prisons!!

The most relevant ones may be:
Psychology A Level (obvs)
Modern History / Sociology / Social Anthropology a levels
Statistics/Maths A level
Biology
