Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. The goal of Psychology is to understand and explain behaviour, so that we may be able to predict, change or prevent certain behaviours. Psychology offers a fascinating insight into human behaviour and will strengthen your skills of analysis and communication. A-Level Psychology covers a range of differing biological and social psychological topics. We will look at behaviours including the stress response, human memory, obedience, offending behaviour, relationships and psychopathologies such as schizophrenia.
