Are these A levels fine for a psychology degree

Best to have a science in there for psychology. For example instead of philosophy do psychology or biology.

I'm not typically good with sciences so I think I might do Psychology instead! But honestly Idk at this point.

A level: History, Philosophy, and English literature.
Although I might do a joint degree with Psychology and Law or something similar.

Pick subjects you would like! 2 years is a long time, you want to enjoy learning and be engaged. A levels are tough, so make you’re interested in the subjects.

Psychology as an A Level was great, both in terms of content and exam. There was lots of little mark questions, so if one question goes wrong - it ain’t the end of the world. The content was very interesting as well. Was my fav subject at A Level!

But pick the subjects you like! A levels are Very difficult and content heavy! You need to have the energy and passion to revise consistently.

Good luck

Most Psychology degrees like you to have at least one science (or maths), but Psychology counts as a science.

If you're not good at Biology don't take it and just make sure that you only pick unis only asking for one science, there are lots of good options

If those are the subjects you’re doing and you’re planning on doing psychology as a degree then it does suggest that you don’t yet quite understand what the subject entails.

Psychology is essentially applied maths and biology. It’s not philosophising about human nature. Those days are done.

By all means do those subjects if you’re interested in them. I did English lit and history alongside psychology. At the time the bit of psychology I did was just enough to put me off, although I came back around to it eventually. But I wouldn’t have been prepared to do the degree with just the English and history side of things. I started philosophy and dropped it but I doubt very much that would have helped me either.

Get maths or biology into the mix or at the very least psychology. If you don’t like maths or biology then you’re not likely to like psychology. Just something to know.

Okay thank you, also on the top of your head do you think there are any uni's that don't require A level psychology to do it at uni.

All the unis I know ask for at least one science, so if people don't have Psychology they would expect them to have something like Bio or Chem instead.

My daughter did English Lit, History and Psychology A levels and she got offers from all 5 unis she applied to. She was never brilliant at maths or science (she got Bs in the old gradings of GCSE) but coped fine with the maths part of the course, it was mainly stats and not too hard she said.

Okay thanks, It's fine because I don't mind Maths or Biology it's just I'd rather study Psychology.
