Psychology

Entry Requirements

Psychology A Level often appeals to those who already have an interest in how humans behave and interact. Students should have an enquiring mind, be sceptical of new information and interested in how to conduct psychological investigations that adhere to scientific principles. Students must be able to recognise different ways to explain phenomena in psychology rather than one ‘right answer’. Psychology GCSE is not a prerequisite to do the A Level, but students must be comfortable and competent using mathematical analysis, conducting scientific investigations and writing essays. 6 / B grades are therefore necessary in English, Mathematics and at least one Science subject.
