Possible Careers in Biology?
I'm about to apply to college, I'm thinking about taking psychology, biology, and health and social care as A Levels. However, I've been told that a lot of jobs in biology require chemistry A Level as well. I'm definitely not taking physics or chemistry, so is there a career (leaning towards human biology, not plant) that I could follow?

I tried using the A-Level explorer feature from TSR, and according to your A-Level subject combinations your two best matching degrees are: Psychology and Nursing.
A close matches is: Midwifery, and your unexpected match is: healthcare science.
You can have a look at it yourself here: https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/a-level-explorer/biology/health-and-social-care/psychology?o=120 - there's a lot more details and information listed.
Hope this helps,
