A level Psychology attempts to unravel the complexities of human behaviour. We will explore issues such as whether psychologists can improve the accuracy of eyewitness testimony, how the bond between mother and child influences the child’s emotional development and why people conform.
Normally we would consider the candidate’s projected or actual GCSE results. Generally we expect candidates to obtain at least five GCSEs at grade 5 and above in order to follow an AS/A level programme, with at least grade 6 in the subjects selected for studying at A level, or in relevant subjects where a student is starting a subject from scratch (such as Psychology or Business Studies). We reserve the right to alter these expectations on a case-by-case basis. Those not undertaking GCSEs will need to show suitable ability.
