Students will have a considerable understanding of the wide spectrum of study involved in psychology and this will enable them to have a rounded and grounded view of the world and people’s involvement in it. They will learn to analyse and evaluate scientific material and theories carefully, perceptively and questioningly. They will learn to write within a time frame and word count and to use psychological terminology and scientific and theoretical language. Students will also be expected to work with previously unseen material and answer questions on it based on their knowledge of the scientific method and a synoptic overview of the whole taught subject. From 2015, mathematical content and practice will make up 10% and scientific research 25% of the overall course. Psychology is perceived as a science and the universities have therefore required more evidence of it.\
