3rd subject advice

I want to do a career in medicine or dentistry so for my a levels I am going to do Biology and Chemistry, but am unsure whether to do Psychology or History as my 3rd subject as I do not want to take maths. At gcse I really enjoy history and find it very interesting but also think that psychology would be good too. Any advice on whether to do history or psychology and what the workload and difficulty of the work is like would be very helpful. Thank you 😊

As you are doing biology and chemistry, you are more or less set. Your third subject can be in anything.

Personal preference: I would pick psychology since it's complements biology. History doesn't sit well with biology and chemistry as much.

In terms of workload, I would say psychology is less than that for history. Having said that, I haven't done history so you might want a second opinion. Likewise, in terms of difficulty, I would say history is more difficult than psychology.
