Psychology A Level is a good basis for progression into employment in many fields, particularly those dealing with people. These include areas such as health, social care, child care, customer service, the police and other emergency services, armed forces, advertising, sales, market research, personnel management and many others. Many Psychology A Level students choose to study Psychology at university, with opportunities for further professional training in clinical, educational, forensic, organisational and counselling Psychology. Psychology also offers an excellent foundation for Higher Education in biological sciences (in combination with science subjects), Social Sciences, Sports Science, Humanities, Business, Law and Education. It is particularly useful for those wishing to pursue vocational training in social work, education and child care, nursing, medicine and related areas. Students will learn the fundamentals of the subject and develop skills valued by Higher Education and employers, including critical analysis, independent thinking and research. Paper 1: Introductory Topics in Psychology Paper 2: Psychology in Context Paper 3: Issues and Options in Psychology
To be accepted on the A Level course a student should have at least 5 GCSEs at grades 9 - 4 (or equivalent), ideally including English Language, Mathematics and Science. (At least 10% of the overall marks in Psychology will require the use of mathematical skills to the standard of Higher Tier GCSE Mathematics).
Each module is assessed by external assessment (examination). There is no assessment based on coursework for this subject.
