Hi there,
I am currently doing a Psychology and Criminology degree and also completed an A-Level in Psychology too. Personally, I think if you are looking to continue your studies in psychology, while it is not completely necessary it is definitely helpful as it gives you a good basis of knowledge on psychology and the different sub sectors that are researched in Psychology. Some of the content learnt in first year of university can be overlapping but I do think already knowing certain theories or studies really helps with deepening your understanding on said areas of psychology.
