What the college says
Students will be required to analyse scientifically the human mind and behaviour. They will be required to show evidence of an understanding of various explanations and research. An appreciation of the scientific method and very good written skills are key to success. Because of the level and type of work involved in the 'Stress and Bio-psychology' modules, students must have a Grade 6 in GCSE Biology. There is also an emphasis on extended/essay writing, therefore a grade 6 in English GCSE is required.See school website for latest information using provided link and navigating to 'Sixth Form Subject Directory'
