Psychology?

I'm starting sixth form college in september and have chosen 3 out of the 4 a-level courses I want to do. I am undecided about the forth. But I am thinking about doing Psychology along with Art, Media Studies and English Language. Do you think this is a good range of subjects? I am also thinking about becoming an Art Therapist in the future so do you think I have made a good choice? Do you think the work load would be too much?
When we applied for the college, we had to put down what we were thinking of taking when we start there, but we don't have to make a formal decision until after we get our GCSE results. I just hope I do get a place on the Psychology course as alot of people are wanting to do it. I don't want it to be too late to put it down as an option as maybe because of the amount of people wanted to take it, they might not let me. What do you think?

I think you've got a great range of subjects which you can apply else where if you change your mind about becoming an art therapist.
My personal experience of psychology also was it was really interesting, and I usually quite a enjoyed the coursework as the research I was doing was interesting too.
I can take 3 or 4 AS Level, it depends on my GCSE results.
When I first decided to go to college, it was one of the courses that stood out to me. So if I don't take it, I'm always going to be thinking 'What if?'.
Thing is, you are taught it so, it makes sense once it's taught and also I had a psychology book which I used very little of - only relevant case studies - it's not always a case of 'this book has to be learnt back to front'. They're source material for research, to learn about and doesn't include all of it.
What have you decided to take instead? And you don't need to make your final decision until the day after your GCSE results come out - you have a meeting then to check courses and other stuff.
Good on you for not taking it. Ilora x
