Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour. Underneath this simple definition, though, lie a huge range of questions concerning the complexity of each of us as individuals. Why do we think, feel and act as we do? What is the relationship between these three facets of human experience? What is it that distinguishes humans from other animals, and what is it that we share? What is it that as individuals we have in common with each other, and how do our beliefs, personalities and abilities make us unique? How did we come to be who we are, and is that fixed, or will it continue to change with us throughout our lives? By posing these questions, psychologists seek to explain who we are and how we came to be.
We require grades of at least a grade 5 at GCSE in English and Mathematics. A grade 6 in a Science subject, ideally Biology is highly recommended.
The A-level will be assessed in the following ways: Paper 1: Introductory Topics in Psychology (Social Influence, Memory, Attachment, Psychopathology) – this is a two-hour paper comprised of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions totalling 96 marks. Paper 2: Psychology in Context (Psychology, Biopsychology, Research Methods, Research Design) – this is a two-hour paper comprised of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions totalling 96 marks. Paper 3: Issues and Options in Psychology (Issues and Debates, Relationships, Schizophrenia, Forensic Psychology) – this is a two-hour paper comprised of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions totalling 96 marks.
