      So usually for psychology, you either need to go down the medicine route to become a psychologist or the BSc route. Both usually require all the sciences and maths, but less so for the BSc. Check the entry requirements of course that you are thinking about going to, as they detail exactly what the course will do and what you could end up doing as well as what GCSEs and A-levels you will need. Good luck!

      As Ashley suggested check which of the sciences are needed to get onto a BSc Psychology course; googling University degrees should help you with this. The main sciences are probably important: biology to learn about the structure of the brain, chemistry to gain a knowledge of the chemicals involved in biochemistry… You can even study psychology at A-Level to get a taster of it to see if you would like to carry this on at University.
