Course summary

We follow the AQA A Level psychology specification. In the first year of AS study, we look at: human memory, child attachment, social psychology, psychopathology (OCD, phobias and depression), approaches and perspectives and research methods with human participants. For students continuing with the full A Level, we progress to study the following topics additionally: biopsychology, issues and debates in psychology, gender, aggression and schizophrenia. Within each topic, there are several subsections, and students are introduced to current (and sometimes competing) theories and explanations. We then evaluate these explanations by considering their strengths and limitations.

Entry requirements

Conditional offers are made in early December. Students are expected to achieve a minimum of eight GCSE passes with at least seven at Grade 7 or above. We also expect the students to obtain a Grade 7 or above in those subjects they wish to study in Sixth Form.
