Psychology explores why we behave the way we do. It helps us to understand how we become social humans and gives us insight into the motives behind our actions. Psychology helps us to understand how the mind functions and helps us identify and understand mental disorders. It explains why people behave differently in the same scenario. Psychology provides insight into how we learn, develop and can improve our own, and others' lives. Choosing Psychology A Level will help you understand yourself, and the people around you. As a result, you will develop real-life skills to apply in everyday situations. It is a science, based on innovative research, that has a broad appeal.
Due to the mathematical and scientific elements in Psychology, to study this subject at A Level we seek a minimum of GCSE grade 5 in Mathematics and Science. There is some extended writing, in which you must be able to express your ideas clearly, which means a minimum GCSE grade 5 in English is also recommended. You should be aware that a number of universities require a 6 in GCSE Mathematics if you decide to continue your studies beyond A Level.
There are three exams, each accounting for one third of your A Level. Each exam lasts 2 hours, is worth 96 marks and consists of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions.
