What are you other A-levels (or options if you have yet to choose)?
If universities require, "chemistry, one other science and another subject (not general studies or critical thinking)", then the answer is no - psychology is not a science. However, you can still study it, as long as you still have the other sciences, i.e. chemistry or biology or both etc..
what if i took Biology, chemistry and psychology for A-level? would that be good for medicine?
It's worth checking the course requirements at the Universities you're interested in. Other people's answers have said, certain courses often request different subjects. But yes, generally those subjects should be fine.

Yh that should be just fine! I originally wanted to do medicine and I'm doing these A-Levels but also i have friends who are applying for uni with the same a levels as us! Good luck with applications and your exams!

I am planning to take chemistry, biology and psychology, do you think that would enhance the chances of me doing medicine?

Great thank you, what if i were to take computer science instead of psychology?

Thank you! I was also considering doing Computer science instead of psychology as i'm quite interested in it. do you think that would be wise for medicine

Firstly, you want to go study medicine at university and that combination will permit you to study anywhere given that the rest of your UCAS application is strong (but worry about this later on).
Secondly, you might hear people saying, 'take maths instead of psychology becasue its more useful' and to some degree that is true, but phsychology will certainly give you skills that maths doesn't encompass.
However, do what you enjoy and what you will get an A*/A in, and if that not maths, definitely don't take it. Universities won't look down at you in any way and you will be just as competetive with A*AA predictions with your combination as someone with biology, chemistry and maths with A*AA predictions.

Right ok, that's great to hear as i'm not a fan of maths although how much of the medicine course includes a-level maths?

A-levels maths doesn't teach you anything new that you can't already figure out, wether in your other a-levels or in medicine.
Biology/Chemistry/Medicine really doesn't use too much maths, and the maths it does use is basic GCSE level logic and how to use a calculator, so don't worry.
