Looking for degrees that prefer at least one of these a levels: biology, psychology and economics

The same course at different universities might have different entry requirements - specific subject to take.
Some courses might not specify a specific subject.
You can do a foundation year if a course you want to do, but dont have the subject specific entry requirements.

But it depends on what you want to do.

The Uni Guide: What Courses do your A-Levels suit?
You can do so muchh:

Biological sciences

Biomedical science

Optometry (some uni's will take bio and psych)

Allied health care courses like orthoptics, nursing, radiography, midwife, physiotherapy etc...

Medicine (some will take bio and psych, e.g. Newcastle which actually says 'AAA' in any subjects excluding general studies, critical thinking stuff..)

Psychology

Neuroscience

Economics (some uni's will take economics and not ask for maths as a requirement, e.g. Loughborough - they could ask for like a high GCSE maths grade though)

PPE (philosophy, politics and economics)


This isn't an exhaustive list thought, have you though about what you might want to do?
Always check entry requirements, as it differs for each uni and there's sure to be a uni which would accept ur subjects.

Many degree courses will only specify one or two A level subjects, and most social science subjects have no essential subjects at all.

Take a look down these degree subjects - and check the entry requirements - Undergraduate Courses, Degrees : Study : University of Sussex
