What the college says

If you are intrigued by human behaviour and want to understand the complexities behind people�s actions then A level Psychology is for you. Psychology is an illuminating discipline which examines aspects of human behaviour and why people behave the way they do. During Year 1 the following topics will be studied and explored: Memory, Child Development and Psychopathology. During Year 2 we cover Relationships, Eating Behaviour and Forensic Psychology. Throughout both years there is emphasis on the scientific basis of Psychology. The focus is on the importance of analysis, interpretation, explanation and evaluation of the methodology, results and impact of their own and others� experimental and investigative activities in a variety of ways. Once you study Psychology at A level you�ll never see the world in the same way.
