Psychology or Philosophy

I need to pick my a levels and I am definitely doing econ, math and mandarin(I am native) and because of that some unis might not accept mandarin as another a level therefore I need to pick one more and I am debating between psychology and philosophy.

I think my understanding for these two subjects are still not that clear so I was wondering if anyone has any information about these two subjects or suggestions on which one I should take. Thank you!

Most top Unis will accept a 'home language' at A level without any disadvantage - the rationale is that if they are going to accept Welsh and Irish, then to not accept Mandarin, Urdu or Somali etc is actually racist.

Most unis should accept your native language as an a-level.
What do you want to do at uni? If you want to do a 4th then look at the course requirements on unis websites to help you decide.

I do aqa psychology and it's very content based so there's a lot of details key studies to remember. However it's my favourite subject because there's a variety of topics we learn about but it all links to psychology, which makes it very interesting :thumbsup:

Look for videos on YouTube of students experiences with these subjects if you want to get a general idea about the exams, workload and course content!
