These subjects sound pretty good! Have you looked at universities to see what particular A-Levels they would like for criminal psychology? There is a website I came across, you put in the subjects you are doing for A-Level and it tells you what you can do at uni with those. I can’t remember the website name, I think I just googled what degree can you do with A-Levels or something along those lines. I hope this helps and I wish you luck with A-Levels and hope you have fun with them! 😊

I've moved this to the psychology forum

Do you mean forensic psychologist? There's no such thing as a criminal psychologist. FPs tend to work in prisons

They sound great! If you do struggle to handle 4 A Levels (I definitely did and ended up dropping one) then make sure to keep psychology and biology and drop one of the other two.

Hi there.

These A-levels are absolutely worthwhile as they're going to build knowledge pertaining to being a criminal psychologist. Be certain to do research into how to become a criminal psychologist, though, as this'll inform you of what A-levels you need to do for whichever course at university will be a step in the right direction toward your future career. Surely psychology, criminology and possibly even biology are all potentially what you'll need but it's never a bad thing to double check.

Good luck and best wishes.
