Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is concerned with answering questions about human behavior. It focuses on the science of the mind, behavior, and experience. It looks at how individuals think, what they do, and the way they are affected by their biological makeup and their wider social group. The course is taught in an interactive way in which pupils have the opportunity to carry out some experiments on each other in class. During class, we have many debates over different topics within the course. In the past psychology trips have taken place which is something we would be looking at doing again in the future. In combination with other A levels or vocational courses, Psychology A level can lead to study at university on a range of courses. A degree in Psychology can lead to many career areas such as Clinical Psychology, Counselling, Educational Psychology, Criminal Psychology, or Health Psychology. Other careers that Psychology could lead to include health and social welfare occupations, or commercial, professional, and managerial
