Studying Psychology will change the way you think about yourself and other people; it is the scientific study of the human brain and behaviour. These are difficult to investigate and psychologists use a wide range of approaches and perspectives, each of which is covered in the AQA A Level course. Not only will students gain a greater understanding of the processes and influences driving behaviour and emotion in the real world, they will also develop a sound understanding of how the scientific method is applied to investigating these questions.
· Where Psychology has not been studied, one GCSE English at grade 5, Mathematics at grade 5, and GCSE Biology at grade 5 (or 5-5 in GCSE Science) OR · GCSE Psychology grade 5. If GCSE Mathematics grade 5 has not been achieved, students will be required to take Mathematical Studies in Year Twelve.
Assessment is by three written papers, each of two hours: Paper one: Introductory Topics in Psychology (topics 1-4 above) Paper two: Psychology in Context (topics 5-7 above) Paper three: Issues and Options in Psychology (topic 8-11 above)
