Is Psychology a good A level subject choice if I want to study CS?
Hi, so I have taken physics, mathematics and was thinking about taking psychology as my 3rd A level subject? Chemistry is not really my cup of tea so will taking psychology will hinder me getting a CS bachelor degree from a reputable university?

Since you got the core subjects like physics and mathematics, choosing psychology is alright but do keep in mind that you have to get good grades mainly in physics and maths if you're aiming to go for a CS degree
If a course doesnt require Psych - and no CS course will - forget any ideas about 'looking good'.
Uni admissions does not work on vague stuff like this. There are required subjects, there are required grades.
There are no secrets that you dont get told, no information that only special people know.
Take a 3rd subject you will enjoy studying, and where you feel confident of a high grade.
