What the college says

Psychology is a new and exciting subject for many of those who take it up in the Sixth Form. It is a collaboration of scientific methodology and theory in the study of five core components: Social, Cognitive, Physiological, Developmental and Individual Differences. We use these key approaches to study causes of behaviour based on historic and contemporary research from Psychologists. This course will appeal to students who: • Would like to know more about recent developments in how the brain works and how that influences our behaviour • Are studying related courses, such as Biology, Sociology and Sports studies or would like to take a Science subject to balance Humanities or Arts disciplines • Are interested in Psychology.

Students should ideally have passes at 6 for English, Maths or Science, with 5 or better in the other two subjects.
