do you NEED bio at A-Level to get into uni for dentistry?

i know queens belfast dont what about other unis?


Have a look on different unis websites to see what they say. Either that or phone them up.
Im not 100% sure myself if you NEED biology but it would certainly be useful.
Yes you do

If you're even considering not taking A Level biology just because a university doesn't ask for it, you might as well not bother even applying. It's 5 years worth of biology.
I'm taking Maths, Bio and Chem and want to go into Dentistry.
Psychology is a science just as Biology is @sfaraj , check with uni websites..they normally want 2 sciences (ideally Bio and Chem or Maths and Bio or Maths and Chem).

Pretty sure only natural sciences are considered.

Really? Your school won't let you change? You should've said this earlier; I'd honestly get your parents involved, not having biology is quite a big deal.

Psychology is a social science, Biology is a natural science. Yes, both 'science', but different. Psychology is more down the humanities route. Unless the teeth you're going to be checking out can think and talk, I don't think the university will want it as much as bio. Biology would boost your chances of getting into uni for dentistry a LOT. And like that other guy said, if you don't like Biology, I wouldn't consider dentistry.
