Would I be accepted into Psychology?

I’m in Scotland studying my SQA highers, in:
English
Mathematics
French
Art & Design
Classical Studies

Then next year in S6, I’ve chosen to study:

Advanced higher English
Higher Administration
Higher History
Higher Modern Studies

I have no sciences which might be a slight issue, but I’ve seen that when you apply to Psychology there’s the option to choose MA instead of BSc. I’d choose MA as I’d rather study alongside humanties/social sciences, but would I still be accepted do you think - also how greatly would the course content differ? Would it impact future careers?

Hi, so as long as your course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) it doesn’t really matter. MA certainly sounds more aligned to what you want to study. If you want to have a future career in psychology, you’d be looking at postgraduate studies at MSc and then doctorate level.
