If you are still interested in studying A-Level Psychology, Media and the other one, you could look into switching colleges that offer those A-Levels and accept your grades/meet the entry requirements.

Have a conversation with your tutor or, if your college has one, reach out to the careers team. They might be able to offer guidance on whether you can switch courses or provide a plan for your next steps. They could help you find part time work/work experience or even apprenticeships, if you don't want to continue the course. I would recommend gaining some work experience. For me, spending time at my local pharmacy helped me realize that I wasn’t as interested in being a pharmacist or working directly with customers. Instead, I found myself more intrigued by how drugs and medicines are developed.

If you don't want to continue, you could take a gap year and revealuate and reapply and figure out your next steps.

Don’t be afraid to explore new options, even if they seem outside your original plan. You’re still very early in your journey, and things can evolve in ways you don’t expect.
