Psychology is a fascinating and diverse subject that incorporates a wide range of exciting topics and investigates many questions about human behaviour, ranging from why people obey authority to what causes OCD and phobias. The AQA Psychology A Level is the ideal introduction to psychology as a subject and covers all the basics of what psychology is and its history. The year 1 topics provide an excellent overview of many of the famous and classic studies, whilst the year 2 topics allow a more modern application of psychology. There are many exciting opportunities whilst studying psychology at The Friary; from meeting and interviewing convicted criminals to carrying out your own experiments.
