Topics of study are wide-ranging and our teachers like to try new things, such as using biscuits, sweets and Play-Doh in lessons. Studying the mind and behaviour is a key area of study, so you’ll need to master experimental and statistical design, brain functions, language and speech disorders, sleep and cognitive functioning, as well as psychopathology (such as schizophrenia, OCD, depression, phobias and addictive behaviour). One of the fascinating areas of study is neuroscience. In this area brain injuries and disorders, such as locked-in syndrome, are explored and investigated using PET and FMRi equipment, so it is useful to think of studying Biology and/or Physics alongside Psychology. You’ll find Psychology to be a subject that is constantly embracing new ideas thanks to continuous advances in the explanations of human and animal behaviour. You’ll certainly be kept on your toes throughout the course.
New entrants must have a minimum of Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and Maths Minimum Grade 6 Biology (students who achieve less than Grade 6 may find the biological components difficult to access).
- Three exams at the end of the second year. - In addition to these exams, you’ll need to have a solid grasp of the application of psychological theory and principles and have a clear and solid grounding in scientific methods. You’ll be required to conduct small-scale investigations on your own so a good understanding of statistics and manipulating data is also useful.
