changing uni course

i am in my final year of a levels, and ive suddenly changed my mind as to what i wantto do, right now ive applied for psych and confirmed my choices, but i changed my mind and i want do do ecology or zoology instead. but the annoying thing is that i chose my a levels for wanting to do psych aka i only did psych as one relating to my course because i dont need more, but for ecology/zoology i neeb bio. my question is 1. do you think it is wise to reapply during my gap year and 2. can i do an a level by myself in one year

Hi,
Third year Ecology and Conservation student at Lancaster here. I think it would be worth checking specific course requirements for any ecology/zoology courses you are interested in to see if your Alevels meet the requirements. Here are the course requirements for my course: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/ecology-and-conservation-bsc-hons-c180/#course-entry and as you can see biology is not absolutely a requirement depending on your other Alevels.
Hope this helped!

There are Science Foundation courses at some Unis designed specifically for those with high grades - but in the 'wrong' subjects.

Southampton - https://www.southampton.ac.uk/courses/foundation-years/science.page
Nottingham - https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/life-sciences/study-with-us/sciencewithfoundationyear/index.aspx
Leeds - https://courses.leeds.ac.uk/g521/studies-in-science-with-foundation-year-bsc
