What the college says

Designed to provide students with the exciting opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of psychology. Our specification will allow students to gain hands on experience of a range of different research methods encouraging active learning, to appreciate how psychological knowledge and understanding develops over time, to explore applications of psychology and gain an insight into how psychological theory can be applied to real world situations, to develop the ability to communicate effectively using appropriate language and become psychologically literate citizens. Unit 1 introduces the world of psychological research methods by taking learners straight to the heart of active research, enabling them to conduct four small-scale investigations of their own in the school or college. Unit 2: Core Studies This unit is an ideal introduction to Psychology at AS and many teachers choose to introduce and teach a new study each lesson or week. It keeps topics fresh and maintains motivation, and learners enjoy getting straight to the heart of what’s interesting about Psychology. Teachers can choose to approach each study in the same way, making study logical and clear to learners. Unit 3: Options in Applied Psychology Learners will find these options particularly exciting and engaging, as they learn how psychology is used in applied areas: • Forensic Psychology • Health and Clinical Psychology • Psychology of Education • Psychology of Sport and Exercise. Unit 4: Approaches and Research
