Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. Within the course we investigate how the brain works, why people behave in certain ways and what happens when the brain functions abnormally. Psychology produces students who have the ability to analyse and evaluate their ideas and put forward an informed argument, aware of individual, social and cultural diversity. The A-level Psychology course is an excellent introduction to the subject. The course is useful for those who intend to read Psychology at university; for those who think an insight into the mind and behaviour would be a useful supplement for other courses or careers; and for those who are simply looking for an interesting subject that contains many of the skills essential to the world of work. The subject is based around essay and report writing. Other skills acquired during the course include Computer Science skills (e.g. word processing, spreadsheets, and internet searching), simple mathematical and statistical procedures, debating and researching your own ideas. Further activities have included visits to the zoo for fieldwork and attending conferences.
If we are then able to offer a place, please note that this is conditional upon your daughter reaching the minimum entry requirements for entry into our Sixth Form, namely: • at least six grade 7’s • a minimum of a grade 7 in both Maths and English GCSE • a grade 7 or 8 in the subjects to be taken at A-level Students will always be considered on their individual merits. No specific GCSE subjects are required, but the core GCSE subjects (Mathematics, English and Science) are essential.
Paper 1: Memory, Attachments, Abnormal Psychology, and Social Influence. Paper 2: Approaches in Psychology, Biopsychology, and Research Methods. Paper 3: Three options include Gender, Schizophrenia, and Forensic Psychology along with issues and debates in Psychology.
