Studying Psychology will give you an understanding of the way people think and why people behave in certain ways. Throughout this inspiring and stimulating course, you will consider how psychologists seek to understand and modify behaviours using scientific methods. Studying Psychology will challenge the way you perceive the world and encourage you to think differently. • Social Influence including conformity, explanations for obedience, minority influence and the social influence in the role of social change. • Memory including the multi-store model of memory and the working memory model. • Attachment including caregiver/infant interactions, explanations for attachment and cultural variations in attachment. • Approaches in Psychology including the learning, cognitive and biological approach and biopsychology. • Psychopathology including the characteristics and treatments of OCD, phobias and depression. • Research Methods including scientific processes, data handling and analysis.
Our Sixth Form entry also requires an interview with the Heads of Sixth Form, after which a conditional offer will be made and will be dependent upon agreed GCSE grade requirements. Our standard requirement is Grade 6 or above in the chosen A-Level subjects (or relevant subject), Grade 5 or above in English and Maths and Grade 4 or above in non-related GCSE subjects.
There are two exams at AS Level, each worth 50% of the qualification. Each exam is 1 hour 30 minutes and is worth 72 marks. The exam consists of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions.
