Which A Levels to take

Hello

This question is for anyone who knows about social care or is studying to become a social worker.

What current A Levels are needed to study for a Social Worker at University. I have the relevant GCSE'S. Also wondering if I could do them online.

Any information would be very much appreciated. As I'm struggling as to what to do next. I've started a Childcare course level 3. Not sure if I'm in the right course. Part time two day course as well at college. 2 days work placement. Thinking perhaps I'd be better off studying at home.

To get on to a relevant degree you need five GCSEs A-C, including maths, English and science, and two A levels. There are no specific subjects required but relevant ones would include psychology, sociology, and law. A level 3 vocational qualification in health and social care would be relevant for this work.

Have a look at the Open University as well.
