A level psychology or sociology?

I'm currently having doubts about my choice of psychology. I just want to ask for those that had done it, was it genuinely enjoyable for you? I'm currently doing sociology at GCSE and getting constant grade 9s (over 80% on each mock so far since Y10) so would it be more wise to choose sociology as I excel in it already? The biggest thing that's pushing me away from psychology is the amount of content it seems to has

What other A level subjects are you going to take?
What are you going to do after A levels - if Uni, do you have any ideas about the sort of degree subject that would interest you, or an eventual career?

As others have mentioned, psychology is more 'scientific' than sociology if that's something that interests you for your future goals. I find sociology has more longer answer questions than psychology, and psychology does require some more application of knowledge. Despite their differences they do 'go' quite well together and I do enjoy both.
As Kallisto mentioned, I study both psychology and sociology (both aqa). If you have questions about either I'd be happy to answer the best I can

Hopefully pursue medicine !! ^_^ or dentistry? It's definitely something in one of those fields, and I'm also doing biology and chemistry

Thank you so much !! I think my main concern right now after a talk with my sociology teacher (who also teaches a level psych) is how hefty the content seems, and how vast it is? It sounds absolutely interesting, but I have a feeling I'd struggle to do really well because of how specific the course seems to be

hmm well even though medicine is stem and psychology would make sense in this context, I believe that sociology could make a better fit as when learning you're informing yourself on the various aspects of life that can affect health holistically. Social relationships and how that could affect how people receive care. Much more to the ethics, equity, inclusion, diversity, socioeconomic factors into health. But equally an argument could be made of the benefits of psychology in neurobiology and neuroscience. I think it's best to explore how you want to pursue your career in medicine or dentistry etc

From reading everything you have said to others, I think you should go with sociology. It sounds like you know you will enjoy it, whilst you may not enjoy psychology. You're also good at sociology, which means you should be able to achieve a good grade in it.
Whilst psychology is more of a science subject, and therefore might seem better for medicine/dentistry, what you learn in sociology could be very useful too in helping you interact with patients.
Sociology also shows a bit of variety and strength in other areas.

hey! both psych and socio have a lot of content, however i thoroughly enjoy psych and im going onto a RG uni to study it this year. my best friend loved sociology. for edexcel psych there is a section called 'social psych' where u learn ab obedience and prejudice, so it does include some social stuff but with a psychological view point. sociology is easier but psych is much more interesting. wishing u the best of luck xx

No worries! Sociology is quite a content heavy subject, however it's perfectly manageable to keep on top of. For example, I make revision resources after each lesson to make sure I'm not falling behind on content. Whilst it seems like there is 'too much' to remember (such as sociologist's names, theories etc), the nice thing about sociology is that the sub topics link together which makes things easier to remember. Additionally, there is support online for sociology content if you are struggling, for example YouTube channels like Tutor2U

Thank you so much for the advice !! ❤️ what aspect of both intrigues you the most so far, and for psychology, would you say it's quite difficult to be in pace with?
