Psychology is an interesting and varied subject. It is closely related to the sciences, but frequently perceived to be more directly related to people and their everyday behaviour. Psychology has its roots in both the natural and social sciences, leading to a variety of research designs and applications. It essentially deals with the question of what makes us do the things that we do and provides a unique approach to understanding modern society. The study of Psychology develops an understanding of explanations of behaviour and appropriate methods of psychological inquiry, explores how psychological research can be applied for the benefit of human beings and ensures that ethical practices are upheld in psychological inquiry.
All candidates are expected to achieve a minimum of 32 points across their best six subjects at GCSE (or equivalent), plus a grade 6 in subjects they wish to study at A Level or Higher Level in the IB Diploma.
