What the college says

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. This is done through rigorous analysis of psychological theory and research and evaluating their methodological strengths and weaknesses. In lessons students take an active role and participate in a range of tasks including exam preparation, group presentations, discussions, note taking, essay writing and being involved in psychological activities. Additionally students will conduct their own small-scale research projects in order to learn the processes involved in psychological enquiry. Students need to have an interest in the explanations behind human behaviour and take an evaluative approach to their learning. Psychological research involves the use of scientific methods therefore students would benefit from having a good grasp of scientific concepts and approaches. In addition, good mathematical skills are required, as 10% of the marks in the Psychology examination will require the use of mathematical skills. Students should be prepared to handle challenging language and a range of new concepts. Due to the considerable amount of detailed information that must be learnt, students need to be able to take responsibility for their own learning.
