Are these good a-level choices?

become a psychiatrist, much more worthwile

I would, but I'm really not too sure about getting a medical degree.

Even better, become Historical Socio-psychologist with a PHD in Linguistics and English Literature.

I'd recommend maths, biology and psychology + one other your interested in for psychology. I have no idea how people on my course cope if they didn't do biology A level.

About law, they prefer students who haven't done law A level and did 'stronger subjects'.

u at oxf? of course your course will be more science orientated than others. thats the whole ethos of oxbridge you nitwit. so your advice on choosing biology as a must is worthless

Hey For my A level choices I picked English lit/lang, History, Psychology and Sociology

In place of sociology I was going to pick business but it's seen as a "soft subject". Also do you have to take Law at A-level to do it at uni?

What do you think of these options? Right now I'm thinking of going down the path of becoming a psychologist.

About law, they prefer students who haven't done law A level and did 'stronger subjects'.

Those are probably fine for either psychology or Law. English and History are both strong and well respected, Psychology isn't bad, and then after that it doesn't really matter what subject you take as a fourth. You don't have to take A-level Law to do it at uni, but it might be of use to help you decide whether you like the subject or not (which is why I took it).



Actually, universities don't really care whether you've done A-level law or not. Although the A-level isn't in the traditional academic bracket, it certainly isn't an 'easy' or 'weak' option. As far as I can tell the only issue most universities have with people taking A-level law is that there's a risk that they'll turn up to do a law degree thinking they know everything already. If there are other 'stronger' subjects you'd just as happily take instead then fine, but it's just wrong to suggest that people should drop A-level law for a subject they like less - if you want to take it then do so.

I really don't think there was any need for your rudeness. Yes I am at Oxford but all BPS accredited degrees have to cover a certain amount of the same topics. I did not say that biology is a must, I said I recommend it as it will make the transition to degree level easier. Psychology degree courses in general are a lot more scientific than psychology at A level and many universities state that the prefer applicants with one or more science subjects including maths, some include psychology while others don't. OP will be in a better position as an applicant and as a first year if they take biology and maths. When I was choosing which subjects to carry on to A2 I emailed an admissions tutor at UCL who told me that biology and maths are the best subjects to take.

Please refrain from ridiculous personal insults and incorrect opinions as taking biology is definitely not worthless. Also, if you are planning to attend university you should attempt to learn how to use punctuation.

Well actually, you said how I should become a psychiatrist, so I would need these subjects.

It probably depends on which unis OP is looking at, it's only some of the top ones that would have an issue with law A level. LSE are known to be particularly picky about subject combinations whereas Bristol like top grades and aren't too bothered about subjects.

1) youre a hypocrit: insulting my inability to punctuate right after telling me off for insulting you.
2) Im at university.
3) your meticulous punctuation is just an overcompensatory mask to hide your deepest anxiety: your BPS accredited degree doesnt contribute anything to society.
