Course summary

Are you the kind of person who constantly wonders why people think or act the way they do? Do you question whether someone’s behaviour is owing to innate tendencies or whether it is the result of their upbringing? If you are keen to understand more about yourself, your relationships with others and gain a greater understanding of other cultures, Psychology would be an ideal A level choice. You will learn to write structured essays, understand ethical issues within Psychology, analyse data from Psychological research, evaluate the usefulness of theories and research, debate major Psychological arguments and design and conduct your own scientific investigations. You also have the opportunity to attend conferences with some of the country’s leading Psychologists and hear about groundbreaking research that is being carried out. Potential careers could be within clinical Psychology, social welfare, marketing, consultancy, market research, accountancy, education or any career that involves working with other people.
