a-levels to choose for a future job in criminology/forensic psychology

I'm in year 11 and I want to do a job in forensic psychology in the future. For my a-levels I am definitely going to study psychology but I am debating what to do for my other two. My options are:
-sociology
-history
-English lit
I am almost certain on doing sociology but do I need biology to study forensic psychology or criminology at university. And if I did sociology and psychology I am still unsure on wether I should choose English lit or history a-level. I am strong at both in my gases and enjoy both thoroughly. Anyone who has done history or English lit on the AQA exam board please tell me what it is like.

You should be fine without biology for the majority of courses (besides Cambridge, they want maths or biology. idk about any others.) Most unis will ask for a science subject, but psychology is usually considered a science subject for a psych course. Have a look at some entry requirements for different unis that you might want to apply to and check what subjects they require.
