Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is a multifaceted scientific subject. Not only does it lead to a variety of psychology specific degree options but studying psychology here at Caterham also serves as a valuable basis for other higher education options (e.g., neuroscience; law; nursing). Many of our pupils go on to study pure psychology and specific study options (e.g., clinical and forensic psychology) at university (including Oxbridge courses). Studying psychology strongly develops theory to practice thinking, ability to diagnose real-world behavioural issues and design evidence based interventions. Pupils studying A Level psychology will be equipped with a stronger awareness of how to describe, predict and evaluate human behaviour, and apply such psychological knowledge in ways that enhance human life.
