I want to do Biology,Chemistry&Psychology but people say I need Maths as well? Then I was thinking of English alongside or Law?
And what about Human Biology? is that a level respected?

I would say those that you said, but perhaps maths instead of psychology (coming from a BSc psychology holder :P)

Biology and Chemistry are no-brainers for a Biology degree. Maths would probably also be helpful.

Just make sure you have at least 2 sciences.
Biology (obvs), chemistry (preferred as the second science) then maths or physics (but you really don't need these).. you just need 2 sciences.
I would stay towards to 'pure' sciences more, but human bio as a third one then sure!! Good luck!

No point doing Human Biology if you're doing straight Biology. Biology includes components of both human and plant, so I think you're risking too much crossover, and it's not necessary.
The last subject doesn't really matter. AS Maths might help you (statistics module probably the most helpful) and a few bits (like logarithms) but I don't think it's the end of the world, and they will provide the materials to learn that during your first year if it's needed on the course.
Go for something else you can do well in, because meeting your offer will be most important after making sure you have biol/chem.

Where are you thinking of applying? I'm just about to start my first year reading biology so I'll happily answer any questions

Most Biology degrees simply ask for Biology and a second science (in my case, Maths).
As for Human Biology, it is often considered in place of, but not alongside, Biology. So it's really a case of "either or" and if you want to do a general Biology degree, then Human Biology is not the way to go.
So you're good with Biology and Chemistry, and then it's a case of whatever subjects look interesting to you.

What if you want to read Human Biology at Uni?

Then Human Biology + a science (Chemistry) is the better choice for you.

x & yeah - I'm doing Biology&Human Biology IGCSE and the crossover is f***ing awful... I get more or less the same piece of homework for both of them?
