You've got two relevant A-level subjects so it should be perfectly fine. Sometimes having a different third a-level is more interesting and if you've got extracurriculars paired with this you'll have a strong application.

Best of luck

Most science degrees only specify two essential subjects - and unless a Uni says that another subject is 'preferred' the third can literally be anything, all they are interested in is the grade.

Examples :
Neuroscience | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol - AAA including two of Psychology, Biology (or Human Biology), Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics (or Further Mathematics).
BSc Neuroscience (2026 entry) | The University of Manchester - AAA - AAB, including two of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.
Neuroscience BSc : University of Sussex - ABB - including at least one of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics.
