Psychology

Course summary

Psychology gives students a broad introduction to the study of human behaviour in all its manifestations. It could easily be broken into three or more separate “A” Levels, given the six major schools it considers, and for this reason students should be aware that its content base significantly exceeds that of other “A” Levels. Successful students enjoy both the sciences and the humanities, as a confident grasp of the scientific method is required along with fluent written skills. In the second year or the course there is a wide choice of topics for students to consider and the major questions of existence and (moral) behaviour are addressed, if not necessarily answered.
