is doing a language a-level not good enough?

Hi guys I am currently doing biology, psychology and planning to do italian a-level. Is this combo good enough??

thank you

I take geography, economics and french and language a levels are very highly regarded by unis if that helps!

As in opening doors for future? I want to do a course at uni which only requires one science subject with a B, but I'm just worrying that they will be put off by seeing a language a-level and consider it as an 'easy pass'

I think it hugely depends on what you want to do at uni.
If you know your want to do a Science based degree, then taking a second science or maths at a level would likely be the most beneficial.
It's unlikely that they would look at a language as an 'easy pass'.

oh really? thank you so much!! I've just been worrying if they get put off me doing my native language as an a-level(italian)

A language A-level is not an "easy pass" however if it is your native language then you might want to consider taking a different language if possible or subject because in that case it may be seen as an easy pass. But, which ever subject you choose (unless it's something like critical thinking) won't really affect your future if you only need the one science which you have.

my degree is more of healthcare based. And thanks for the reassurance!!

If it is your native language then I would advise taking it as a 4th A level if you really want to do it.

When I say native I don't literally mean it- Like I've lived there over a certain amount of time but I wasn't born there or anything. However my passport and nationality is from there And it's been around 7 years I've moved to England so I practically kind of forgot the language...

You should probably consider Biology and Chemistry then. Many healthcare related courses actually prefer Chemistry over biology.
It's a good idea to check uni websites for specific requirements.

Hmm, I don't know if that would be clear to universities? Are you sure there are no other subjects you want to try? The obvious ones are chemistry or maths but any subject would do.

That does change things a bit. Some universities will not accept a native language as a third A-level (I know you say it's not your native language but since you have an Italian passport, it will be seen that way). Perhaps enquire directly with the unis you want to apply to to see if they would count? Probably safer to consider doing it as a 4th A-level though.

Baically I did chemistry in year 12 because I wanted to do medicine. However I changed my mind on that, and im not doing very well in chem. So I recently thought that i could do a language a level which is still hard but I won't struggle as much as chem. And I don't need chem as I already have bio and the uni wants only one science subject.
