A Level Psychology

Psychology is a fascinating subject which is all about you! Students will learn about research into a wide range of human behaviours. Lessons involve quizzes/tests/games to assess knowledge, reading, paired and whole class discussions and extended writing tasks. Psychology will develop competence in the use of subject-specific terminology and the interpretation of statistics as well as a precise and detailed style of writing.

You must be curious and willing to engage in discussion activities to enjoy the subject. Prospective students should be confident in their understanding of scientific processes as well as their literacy and numeracy.
