Psychology is the study of the workings of the human mind and how psychologists have interpreted them. The aim of Psychology is to use scientific methods to investigate an enormous range of phenomena: learning and memory, sensation and perception, motivation and emotion, thinking and language, personality and social behaviour, intelligence, child development, and mental illness. A-Level Psychology students will be taught to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of psychological concepts, theories, research studies, research methods, and ethical issues. They will also learn how to evaluate therapies and treatments in terms of their appropriateness and effectiveness. Students will also develop an understanding of research methods, practical research skills and mathematical skills.
5 GCSEs grade 5 or above including Maths and English or equivalent international qualifications. For international students who have taken IELTS, we require an overall score of 5.5 with a minimum of 5.5 for each of the reading and writing components. For international students who have taken IGCSE English (Second Language), we require grade 5 or above. There is no requirement to have studied psychology before, although it is helpful to have an inquiring mind and a good understanding of human biology. Students should recognise that the research methods of psychology are scientific, so it is useful to have a background understanding of the practical aspects of science and how research is recorded.
