Psychology is the scientific study of mind, brain and behaviour. Psychologists employ the scientific method: formulating theories, testing hypotheses through observation and experiment and using statistics to analyse their findings. You don't need to have studied GCSE psychology to study the A level but you will need an interest in biology and a good grasp of maths, (particularly arithmetic, data handling, algebra and graphs). Psychology can be used in a wide variety of people-oriented careers and will give you a great set of transferable skills including communication, analysis and research and problem solving skills.
- A minimum of Level 5 in Maths, English and 2 sciences. - Cranbrook School currently requires at least a grade 4 at GCSE or equivalent in Maths and English.
Assessment is through final examination at the end of the course. There will be 3 exam papers each of 2 hours duration. Exams will comprise multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions.
