I hate science, like chemistry etc. But I would’ve thought that I would need to do a biology course for my HSC to get into psychology in university.
Is that right? If not what type of course will I need to take for science?
Also I only want to do general psychology, not social or biological etc.
Ah, @flingebunt I was planning of doing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, so it’s good to know that it minimizes the science involved.
There are actually 2 branches of psychology in many universities (though some only have one, the major universities in Australia both have 2). There is Psychology in the Science Faculty and Psychogy in the Arts Faculty.
So if you study Psychology inthe Science faculty you will need to do more Science, while if you do it through the arts faculty you won’t.
Chemistry, Physics and Maths are essentials in science, but biology is going to be more useful in psychology Chemistry and Physics. For maths, the main thing you need is statistics.

It doesn’t matter what you do in hs (just get decent grades), you will have to take all kinds of science courses in college.

Unless you are prepared to do a PhD in psychology then psychology is not a good choice for a major due to the limited job prospects. Generally speaking you will have some anatomy especially neuroanatomy, physiology, and statistics as a part of your major. However it will not be allot and fairly manageable. Ideally if you take general chemistry, organic chemistry, human anatomy, and human physiology it will give you a good basis for psychology. Also if you take a semester of calculus or at least a semester of pre-calculus you will find that it will help you immensely with any statistical calculations you have to do.
