Psych, Bio and Sociology A level

I would like to do a degree in criminology or criminology and psychology, would these a levels get me in? Or is there an easier option instead of bio that would complement psych and sociology whilst still being good?

Hi,

As mentioned above, it’s always best to check the entry requirements for the universities and courses you’re interested in. The UCAS website is a really useful tool for this, as it lists the A-levels or equivalent qualifications each course requires https://www.ucas.com/

Hope this helps, best of luck with your studies :smile:

Be aware that a degree in Criminology does not make you a Criminologist - that is a highly specialise sub-section of Clinical Psychology - and that even with a degree in Psychology, its a very narrow field and immediate graduate jobs are thin on the ground - Clinical psychologist job profile | Prospects.ac.uk. There are plenty of other career pathways out there for those with a Psych degree - but they may not be within Psychology itself.

Double check the courses on unis websites to see what (if any) subject requirements they have.
Those subjects sound decent though.
I did sociology and loved it.
