What the college says

The study of Psychology will allow you to develop a deep understanding of people as it is the scientific study of mind and behaviour. Students will develop an understanding of memory and how psychologists use the research in this field to help the police in their ability to interview eye witnesses. Psychology covers a range of subjects from the importance of attachment in infancy to offender profiling and dealing with offending behaviour. It is a subject that can be applied to all aspects of life.

What you need to get on

A grade 5 in English at GCSE is expected as good written communication skills are required for essays and extended writing questions. Statistics and other mathematical skills are an integral part of Psychology so a minimum grade 5 in Maths GCSE should be achieved. Psychology is also a scientific discipline, so two grade 6's in science at GCSE is also expected.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
