Can we rely on eyewitness testimony? Why do people obey authority? How can we define what is 'normal'? If you are curious to find answers to these questions then you will enjoy this subject. Psychology is the science of human behaviour and mental processes. Students will learn a range of famous influential psychological experiments that have radically changed our knowledge of the brain and behaviour. Psychology bridges the gap between arts and sciences as scientific and written skills are assessed. The department attends a variety of seminars and events including the Psychology Live conference in Disneyland Paris. It also organises a 'Life Behind Bars' conference, which includes hearing from ex-convicts and forensic psychologists.
• At least 5 GCSEs at either 8 or 9 and three grades at 7. • GCSE grade 8 or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. • GCSE grade 7 or above in Mathematics and English Language. • For two science A Levels, or Maths alongside science, at least a grade 8 will be needed in both subjects. The course is taught from first principles as it is assumed that no student has studied Psychology before. Skills in written communication, data interpretation and critical evaluation will be assessed. Therefore a grade 8 in English GCSE is required. The A Level course also contains knowledge of inferential statistics as well as an increase in the biological content, therefore Maths and Biology GCSEs are relevant.
