Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and how it dictates and influences our behaviour, from communication and memory to thought and emotion. Psychologists ask questions like: Why do some people suffer from stress and mental illness? Why do some find spiders fascinating and others have a phobia? How does early childhood experience affect you later in life? The syllabus content will develop a range of valuable skills, including critical analysis, independent thinking and research. It will also develop mathematical knowledge and research skills. It is therefore important that you have good GSCE Science and Mathematics abilities prior to starting the course.
