Job opportunities with these a levels?

Hi I’m taking Psychology, History and Biology as my 3 a levels and I’m just curious onto where these 3 subjects could lead me to. Im thinking of a career in psychology because I find it incredibly interesting along with always having a passion in biology and therefore taking triple science for gcse. If anyone can tell me anything about where these 3 subjects could take me job wise I’d be thankful! Also does anyone know if I could take psychology in Cambridge University to become a psychologist (since I couldn’t find any info online) - I’m thinking of becoming a psychologist but I still want to know where these a levels could also take me. Thankss

It is more so the A Levels leading to a degree that open jobs opportunities than A levels itself

Becoming a Psychologist is a far longer process than going to university and getting a degree, or even a masters at that! If you have a preferred area of research, or a preferred area that you'd like to work in then look for universities who have academic staff related to that field.

For example, I chose my university because I wanted to work with athletes so being able to do a Sports Psychology degree with academics who are actively working with athletes was important to me.

Also even though most Psychology courses are BPS accredited, the form of assessments have vary so if your strength is exams, then chose one with more assessments based around exams as it could mean the difference of graduating with a 2:1 or 1st.

You could also look at doing a degree in an unrelated subject and then going a Psychology conversion course at MSc level to get your the accreditation you need to work as a Psychologist.
