A- levels for psychology degree at university

I'm choosing my A- levels and would like to know if I should take sociology or biology to go with A-level psychology if I want to do psychology at uni

Psychology and Sociology complement each other for uni the most as there is a lot of crossover in both subjects

Biology would probably be helpful, though its harder to get a good grade in Biology than Sociology.

Depends on what unis your looking at really.

Maths, there is a lot of it in psychology.
I did sociology to AS and I got an offer. Where were you thinking of applying?

I was just wondering for all universities in general, thanks for the help guys :P
Most psychology courses at good universities like/require Biology. A friend of mine made the mistake of not choosing Biology and couldn't apply to some really good universities despite her amazing AS levels.

I would recommend Biology, Sociology, English and Maths.

Psychology A level isn't a necessity for the most part, but can act as a way to show you're interested in studying it at uni :smile:
