Psychology

Entry Requirements

A minimum of five 9-5 GCSE grades, which must include Mathematics and either English Language or English Literature. Psychology is classified as a science, so students should have obtained at least a grade 6-5 in GCSE Combined Sciences. Owing to the mathematical content of the course, a good understanding of Mathematics is also important: we recommend Grade 6 or above at GCSE. For the statistics component, 25% of the marks are awarded for mathematical ability, so we strongly recommend students also enroll into our Core Maths course, to complement this course. Students should be able to express themselves fluently in writing and be willing to engage in both critical and creative thinking. It is a requirement, therefore, that students have achieved at least a grade 6 in English Language and/or Literature.
