Psychology
Not to panic you but I would have thought you needed a something like maths as well to do psychology at uni? I don't do psychology but some of my friends do and I'm just repeating what they have said.

English literature or lit and lang, or just language?
Having psychology and English literature - you'll be fine.
To be honest the other subjects are not "hard" subjects but that's irrelevant it's not going to affect your application one bit. Just don't drop psychology as that's the one science you'll need to meet the entry requirements for any psychology course.

Nah you don't need maths, they ask for one science and class psychology as one, so the thread starter will be fine :smile: I am just about to start BSc psychology and my offer was given irregardless of maths.

"Most conditional offers made by the Cambridge Colleges require A*A*A at A Level (or equivalent) for undergraduate science courses (excluding Psychological and Behavioural Sciences), and A*AA for arts courses and Psychological and Behavioural Sciences."- from cambridge.
your better looking at the course requirements for psychology of many different unis. some just say they want AAA (for example) and only require one or two subject related a-levels. your doing psychology which you will need.
sociology is a good combination with that and makes you see things from different perspectives which will be useful and english is very analytical. and IT is always useful but not necessarily important.
so yes, id say u would. but look at what unis say specifically about their psychology course.
