So I believe if you want to do a psychology degree in future you need to take at least one science subject A Level (Bio, Chem, Physics, Psych, Maths). If you wanted to do a psychology and neruoscience degree together it’s usually two of the sciences (preferally one of them be biology).
I myself took bio, physics, and maths at the GCSE stage. For A Levels my two sciences were bio and psychology.

Nadine answered this well. In general in most universities to do psychology you will require at least one A-level science qualification and a good GCSE in maths. The maths is to prime you for some of the statistics we have to use to analyse our data. Most universities will also tell you the specific grades you should be aiming for to get in, but there can sometimes be some flexibility if you fall short.

Nadine and Alex provided great answers here. Personally, I would add that you should study the things that make you excited in school – and the rest will align itself! As I said in my bio, I always loved arts as i did chemistry – and never known what was my “road” – then I decided to apply to study psychology as I was interested in what controls us as people; there was a real chance I’d go into marketing from the studies I conducted – but after some internships I knew that working towards “greater good” is for me. From then, with hard work (and a lot of NOs), I went to do a PhD in London, did a bit of lecturing, and in the end I realised I wanted to do research in psychology and neuroscience. There is always time; passion for a given academic subject is everything in my opinion (but indeed maths are very important these days!).
