Ds suddenly announced he wants to do this. Will be doing maths Alevel and maybe Further Maths or Computer Scuence.

Is it an ok Alevel for Russell group and any way to sample it as he has no experience of the subject.

He is struggling to find a third, quite interested in the subject.

no one who does Psychology ALevel has experience of the subject. it isn't taught at GCSE in the vast majority of schools.

you do not need psychology a-level to study psychology at degree level.

Dd also wants to do this A Level. For all her subject options she’s looked at last year’s papers - it helps to see what is expected of you. He could also ask to look through a textbook at school.

RG unis accept all subjects - they’ve scrapped the list of facilitating subjects. However, obviously it depends what degree he wants to do - that combination is no good for medicine, but would be fine for a Maths, Psychology or Computing degree and probably lots of others.
