This course is the first step towards becoming a psychiatrist, a profession which requires a doctorate, and leads pupils into the world of Psychology, which has a lot of components. There is an emphasis on research skills and enquiry in order to enable the learner to progress into higher levels of education. It is ideal for students looking to pursue a career in Medicine, Law, The Criminal Justice System or the Social Sciences. Students will study the planning, conducting, analysing and reporting of psychological research across a range of experimental and non-experimental methodologies and techniques. The course introduces some of the central areas of investigation in psychology organised into key themes. Each theme is represented by a classic and contemporary core study. The themes are social, cognitive, developmental, biological, and individual differences. They will also cover topics such as Child Psychology, Criminal Psychology and Mental Health.
To help you achieve the best grades possible at A level we ask that you choose the subjects you enjoy, have an interest in and did well in at GCSE. In most cases, this means you will have achieved at least a grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects you wish to study at A level. This does not apply to all A-level subjects we offer, for example, Politics and Psychology, as it is unlikely you will have studied either at GCSE. We will discuss entry requirements in these instances with you.
• Exam 1 – Research Methods (30%) • Exam 2 – Core Studies (35%) • Exam 3 – Applied Psychology (35%)
