Psychology, the study of the mind and human behaviour continues to be one of the most popular A level subjects. The course requires students to think critically and evaluatively about a range of theories and studies, in order to better understand what motivates human behaviour. Students can expect topics which are fascinating and challenging, whilst being applicable in the real world. They will gain invaluable transferable skills, developing their extended writing abilities, as well as their understanding of how scientific research is conducted, all within a stimulating and encouraging environment.
To provide a solid foundation for A level study, we recommend that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject with which they wish to continue. In some subjects, a Grade 7 may be more suitable to facilitate positive outcomes at A level, and the Sixth Form team will be happy to provide tailored advice on this matter.
The course is entirely assessed through examination, containing a mixture of short answer and multiple choice questions, as well as extended-writing responses. The three examination papers are of equal weighting.
