Subjects choices

I wish to do either forensic pathology and psychology but I am not really that sure what subjects to choose.

I’d have a look at the university degree courses in these subjects and consider what their entry requirements are. Then have a think about the subjects you enjoy studying the most and are your strongest subjects. It’s important that you enjoy the subjects as A Levels are hard work and you want to do yourself justice. If you like the work and you find it easier than other subjects that will really help you,
Good luck!

Look at the courses on unis websites to see what (if any) subjects they specify.
Psychology might be useful. A science based subject (e.g. biology or chemistry) might also be useful.

Have a look at what kind of undergrad degree you might want to do- is it likely to be more psychology oriented or forensic science?
For psych degrees or forensic psych degrees there often aren’t specific subjects required but some unis might require 1 or 2 sciences, youll have to have a look if you have any specific options or local unis in mind.
For forensic science degrees, bio and/or chem are often required so taking both would keep your option open. If you dont like on these then think about whether this type of degree is for you.
