IB Subjects for Behavioural Economics?

[Vighnesh]

I will be starting the IB Diploma Programme by the end of the July.

My subject choices are as follows-

HL Psychology Maths Economics

SL Spanish ab initio ESS and English A Lang and Lit 

Are these subjects appropriate for pursuing Behavioural Economics in university?

Is Psychology HL required or should I drop it to SL and push English up to HL?

Does Psychology require any Biology and is it an interesting course ?

Psych is a tough course in combination with Maths HL but it is doable. I know a lot of people who took this combination and no bio is not required to understand psychology but it will help you a little surely.

Thanks for your reply 

Do you recommend that I drop psych to SL and push English up to HL ?

I heard that there isn't much of a difference in psych HL and SL 

Is English HL needed for a Behavioural Economics course or can I manage with SL ?

I do not know about the difference between HL and SL psych but I do not think behavioral economics requires psych HL. You should be fine with SL

Btw I would check the entry requirements for universities that offer the course. For example LSE, which offer that course want either Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths or Psychology at HL
