Course summary

We follow the AQA Psychology GCE specification at A-Level (7182). All external exams will be sat at the end of the second year of study. There will be an internal exam to assess the progress of learning at the end of the first year which acts as excellent consolidation. A number of practical investigations are carried out as part of each unit. These are not assessed as coursework, but students have to answer questions in the exams about how they may carry out certain methods in Psychology. These practical investigations allow the opportunity for students to carry out their own Psychological research.
