What the college says

Psychology is a subject which provides a link between the social and natural sciences by studying aspects of the human mind and behaviour using scientific principles. The Year 12 syllabus provides a broad-based introduction to many of the fascinating topics in Psychology. In Year 13, students will refine and further develop their understanding to a more advanced level, focusing on specific topics of interest to researchers today. The course is examined at the end of Year 13 via 3 A-Level exam papers. The AQA specification provides a strong foundation for students wishing to study Psychology at university. For those who decide not to take their studies of Psychology further, the course provides a fantastic opportunity to develop their numeracy and literacy skills on an academically rigorous and interesting course.
