Psychology at A Level is taught with the assumption that students have no prior knowledge of the subject. It is the science of behaviour and experience and, as such, is relevant to all areas of life, offering a bridge connecting the human and natural sciences. Psychologists use the same research methods as other scientists to study the brain; however, science further helps a psychologist understand how physiology links to behaviour.
An offer is conditional on attaining a minimum of Grade 4 in English and Mathematics at GCSE/IGCSE and a minimum of Grade 6 in the subjects applicants hope to study at A Level. Psychology is a demanding academic discipline, and the grade recommendation is a grade 6 or above in Biology, a grade 6 or above in Mathematics, and a grade 5/6 in English Language. Strong written communication is essential as the Psychology student needs to discuss various scientific issues, as well as research methodology and major approaches in Psychology, and be able to write about these clearly and concisely.
