What the college says

Psychology is the study of human behaviour. Students will explore the causes of certain behaviours such as learning, schizophrenia and phobias. Not all psychologists provide the same explanation or theory as to why humans behave in such ways, therefore it is important we explore all potential influences from biological to unconscious. Psychological theory also opens the door to treatment programmes. For example, during the course we will look at offending behaviour and question if custodial sentencing is effective or whether offenders should be offered anger management instead. All theories must be supported by evidence, therefore A Level Psychology is the process of evaluating and comparing these pieces of research.
