This course is a fascinating exploration of the mind and behaviour. We’ll study the everyday and yet remarkable functioning of the human brain and consider what happens when the processes that we take for granted malfunction, for example the effects of dementia on memory, or the neurochemical imbalances in the schizophrenic brain. The course covers many aspects of psychology, including social, cognitive, clinical and criminal, as well as a variety of learning approaches which give a broad understanding of the theories and research studies that underpin the subject. This is a subject with diverse approaches, and you can expect to visit a variety of themes - including the functioning of PET scanners, calculating a Mann-Whitney statistical test and even considering whether you could ever be persuaded to electrocute a complete stranger!
Pupils entering the sixth form are expected to have obtained ‘C’ grades in most core subjects and at least a grade B in their chosen A Level subjects. They will be expected to be able to cope with the demands of A Level courses in at least three subjects. Some A Level courses require higher GCSE grades, specific details on request from the Marketing and Admissions Team.
