Geography, Psychology and English Lit- A- Level

Halo!

I've taken two of the same subjects psych and lit. Your options do complement each other really well. Career-wise you could go into psychology as there aren't any specific subject requirements and perhaps look at a career such as clinical psychology where you could examine people's behaviours and help provide therapy if you like helping people and doing social work. You could be a journalist if you like writing and geography really ties in well with that. I think you have a lot of options open for you. I hope this helps!

This is very helpful, thank you! Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what was your other A-level subject and are you thinking to go into psychology (unless you are doing it already)?

ofccc

Im taking sociology and yupp im planning to study for clinical psych in uni (cause im super interested in psychological problems and wanna help people with them)

Hi there. I love English Literature. It’s a subject I thoroughly enjoyed studying. I didn’t take Psychology or Geography so I can’t say anything about those.

Here’s what I have to say that you may want to take into consideration. You can enter a Psychology course at the university level without taking A-Level Psychology. You just need to do a science subject or, in most or all cases, Math. Math is accepted by top universities like Bristol, Oxford, and UCL. I haven’t checked most of the other courses. With this in mind, even if you might study Psychology at the degree level, you might want to choose A-Level Math over A-Level Psychology. The reason why is that Math is the required subject for more courses than Psychology is. Economics and some PPE courses, for example, often require you to have A-Level Mathematics.

Nonetheless, if you’re sure no uni course you’d be interested in down the road will require Math and you have your heart set on A-Level Psychology, then go for it.

Sociology also sounds really interesting, I’ve been considering it as an option too, but I’m still thinking lol. Thanks again for your help! I wish you the best of luck in your studies!

hi everyone, i’m currently considering my a-levels and i’m thinking of this potential combination: Geography, psychology and english lit. It would be really helpful to hear your views on these subjects and if they are good choices, but also if you have any suggestions. Career-wise i’m not too sure what i’d like to do, but i enjoy humanities/ creative subjects more than stem subjects. Thank you!

this was a year ago - you can let us know what a levels you take now!!

Hi everyone! I really appreciate all your helpful comments (even a year later haha) It’s great to hear how much everyone enjoys their subjects, and I wish all of you the best of luck in all the goals you want to accomplish! Just as an update, initially I picked English Literature, Economics and History. However, after the first week of school, I realised History wasn’t for me and switched to Mathematics. I hope to go into the financial sector which is another reason why I switched. Once again, thank you for all your advice and for sharing your experiences! All the best xx
