Psychology is an exciting subject that answers many questions all about humans. It is a Social Science subject that focuses on the ‘scientific study of brain and behaviour’, so you will have the opportunity to design practical investigations, such as observations and experiments. You will look at examples of psychological studies and learn to critically analyse their ideas and their methods. Human behaviour is complicated and psychologists take a number of approaches including exploring the way the brain processes information, how our biology affects our behaviour and how some behaviours are learned through our social interactions. Psychology is highly valued by employers for the skills developed in critical analysis, presentation, research, numeracy and written communication. During the two-year course, you will have the opportunity to visit Bristol Zoo to complete observational training and workshops. You will also attend a student revision conference with activities and exercises to help your understanding.
Entry to Rendcomb College Sixth Form requires you to have achieved five grades 4 - 9 at GCSE with a grade 6 in each subject studied at A Level. For Mathematics and Science, we recommend you have a grade 7 at GCSE. You must also achieve grade 4 or above in GCSE English Language/Literature and Maths or you will be supported to re-sit.
