Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind, brain and behaviour. It is an exciting A Level that is rigorous and will require you to understand and learn a great deal of material. It requires numerous skills from the individual studying it and for that reason we have the above minimum entry requirement.

Opportunities exist within education either as a lecturer or working with children with special needs. There are increasing opportunities in Business, Recruitment, Sport, Marketing, Counselling, Probation Services, Advertising and Criminal Law. We have recently had many students achieve 100% in modules, we also had a former student achieve a 1st in Psychology at Cambridge University. A previous student has also completed a PHD in Psychology with some now working as clinical psychologists.
