A levels: English, Geography and a social science?

[slidingdrawers]

DD (year 11) is applying to colleges.

Uncertain what she wants to do but keen on above plus a social science: sociology, psychology, or possibly philosophy. She is good at reading between the lines and is interested in the way others think and behave.

She has absolutely no idea what she wants to do at Uni/long term, possibly something in healthcare but not keen on patient fronting (probably put off by me!).

Re her grades, she has very low targets but getting 6-8s in her mocks/assessments so we are hoping A levels are an option. DS is doing a BTEC and I'm not that impressed with teaching and assessment to date.

Any thoughts on her choices?

I think as a sciences graduate, that when the A level starts GCSEs will be left behind and not mentioned to be honest. The content will be covered, how about a bit of positivity and encouragement perhaps instead of writing off on basis of a decision made in yr 10 for double instead of triple science..

@Orangeblossom77777 I agree. There is no reason why you can't do an A Level in any of the sciences after the double award. In fact many schools no longer offer the Triple award because it is not necessary and it allows students to have a wider subject choice.

Psychology is always a good one in my view, and acceptable for most university courses.
DD did Philosophy & Ethics as a GCSE and it was very RE based, so I don't know whether the A-level would be similar.

There is a thread on double and triple science on here basically saying it doesn't matter and could even be discriminatory to choose against it, as well.
