Course summary

A-Level Psychology is a fascinating study that has many practical applications in daily life. Psychology allows students to explore the science of behaviour, and broadens their understanding of the influence of nature and nurture on human development. An A-Level in Psychology teaches students to understand themselves, and encourages them to challenge the stereotypes and “quick fix” answers often provided by the media - for example in relation to questions around mental health and the effect of violent videos on children’s behaviour.
