philosophy or psychology???

Hi!:smile:

um,at A/S I'm taking Chemistry, Biology, Maths and English Literature, and I'd like to take Psychology or Philosophy as a 5th one. I think I'd prefer psychology, but I think Philosophy's more respected and i like the sound of it, so which one should i take?

If you're not planning on taking the 5th subject to A2, I'd say go for Philosophy. AS was so damn interesting and "fun" in a sense, it's one of the most difficult subjects but all your other choices are difficult too (but nothing compared to A2 of course- AS just seems like a piece of cake now).

If you take philosophy then you'd be choosing the exact options I did. 0_0

They complement each other quite nicely - although philosophy isn't for everyone. If you can get a hold on it and engage with it properly then you really do take a lot from it, I think.
Philosophy is more respected, but you may find Psychology more interesting.

Do what you think you would like. :smile:

Philosophy. Its more interesting and, in my opinion, the workload is much lower. I have friends in psychology getting homework (essays) at least once a week. Get your mind around whats being said in philosophy and you're ok.
