A Level Psychology covers the main approaches within the discipline; social, developmental, psychopathology, cognitive and biopsychology. There is a considerable emphasis on the Research Methods science aspect, which is embedded throughout each topic. The skills and techniques learnt in Psychology are readily transferable to many other subjects, such as Mathematics, Biology, English Language, Politics etc. You will learn how to apply your Psychological knowledge to everyday life events, and gain insight into what influences human behaviour.
It is desirable that pupils achieve at least a grade 7 in Biology GCSE and a grade 6 in English Language to study Psychology A Level. Skills from both, the humanities and science, are essential as pupils will be required to write essays as well as conduct scientific research. However, there is no assumed Psychological knowledge required at the start of the course.
The A Level specification compromises of three external examinations of equal weighting (33.33%). Each exam is two hours long and 96 marks in total. They include multiple choice, short answer and extended writing.
