Course summary

A level Psychology is the study of the human mind and behaviour. It explores how we think, act, react and interact with others. Psychologists are concerned with all behaviour and what motivates us to act in particular ways. Psychologists do not simply seek to explain behaviour, but use their understanding to bring about positive change. Should you opt to take psychology as an A-Level you will explore a variety of topics looking at different aspects of human behaviour. These topics include social influences, human memory, attachment, psychopathology, psychological research methods, approaches to psychology, biopsychology, cognition and development, eating behaviour, aggression and issues and debates in psychology.
