Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour, so you’ll learn to think like a scientist. You’ll study explanations for how people think, feel and behave as they do and you’ll be asked to evaluate those explanations - is there any evidence for them? How strong is the evidence? You’ll even do research of your own! You’ll learn how to design experiments, questionnaires and do observations. You’ll learn how to collect and analyse data, and how to apply what you have learned to the real world. Subject content in the first year includes: • Social influence • Memory • Attachment • Approaches in psychology • Biopsychology • Psychopathology • Research methods
5 GCSEs including at least a grade 6 in either English and Maths, or Science.
At A-level there are three exams, each account for one third of your A-level. The three exams last 2 hours and are worth 96 marks each. The exams consist of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions.
