What subjects if you like English and Psych?

[PrincessOfPreschool]

Obviously we can look at a joint honours. But just wondering if there are any subjects which involve similar skills...

DD loves English but has a scientific side and has really taken to Psychology A level, finding it so interesting. Despite loving History GCSE, it's now her least favourite A level. Just wondering what slightly 'leftfield' uni subjects she might like. She's on track for AAB. She was thinking of Law, but I think it may be closer to History skills than English/ Psych. No ideas of future careers.

Getting to be a psychologist after a psychology degree is very hard and only around 20% make it. If that.

Yes many jobs are open to students with a variety of degrees, but English degrees don’t have great stats for employment. Just because jobs are available doesn’t mean dc will get one as there aren’t enough to go round.

Always do law instead of criminology. At least you have a degree that is qualifying you for study to be a solicitor or barrister. Criminology doesn’t and has no particular career path.

LANS at Birmingham?

@NotDonna he has only just graduated and taking a post-uni gap year at present so no, not as yet - he's considering a masters and just doing a part-time role locally for now. There are various 'obvious' paths that a criminology degree could lead to (working in the criminal justice system, probation officer etc) so some grads will ultimately go down that route but not sure whether DS will take that path as yet.
