The course is diverse and covers several topics in the context of real life experiences. These include how your memory works, how your personality develops through early childhood experiences, how culture and society influence people’s behaviour and how psychological abnormalities are defined and treated. You will learn about the different approaches within Psychology and how these approaches view behaviour differently. During the A Level a number of these areas will be explored in more depth and further topics such as relationships, schizophrenia and forensic psychology are investigated. Robust research is crucial to all of these areas, therefore you will study the different techniques and methods that Psychologists use to conduct scientific research into human behaviour.
