Can you choose not to do chemistry,physics and biology first year of B.science at USYD.

Because I did no HSC sciences and I really dont want to do it. The reason why I "might" do b.science is so I can major in psycology.

You don't have to.

In your junior year you should complete:

12 credit points from the Science subject areas of Mathematics and Statistics
24 credit points of Junior units of study from at least two Science subject areas other than Mathematics and Statistics
12 credit points of elective units of study from Science, Arts, Economics and Business, Engineering and Information Technologies or other faculties.

Major in psychology through a B Arts. That way you can make sure you do no sciences whatsoever.

Those 24 credits will be hard to complete without doing some kind of bio/chem/physics.

The only way I can think of getting around it is by doing PSYC1001, PSYC1002, Bioethics and What is this thing called Science? (technically a second year subject though, so wouldn't count as a junior subject) - each of which are worth 6 credits. Or perhaps a geology subject?

I'm with MetalTheory - an arts degree might be more appropriate for you.
