The study of Psychology will provide you with an appropriate foundation for further study in Psychology or related subjects in higher education. Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. You may choose to study Psychology because you wish to see what we have learned about human behaviour from one hundred years of scientific investigation. This course is a broad introduction to the subject, and you will become familiar with theories and studies conducted in the major areas of Psychology.
The standard entry requirement for students entering Sixth Form is 6 GCSEs at grade 5 or above with a grade 7 or above in the subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies that have not been studied previously, should show proficiency in similar subjects. Entry is at the discretion of the Headmaster. You need to have competence in reading and writing English, reasonable Maths skills and some experience of conducting and writing up scientific investigations. No specific background subjects are needed.
There are three two hour examinations at the end of the second year. Each paper is worth 33.3% of the A Level.
