Whether you opt to do the A-level or the AS-level you will study a variety of topics looking at different aspects of human behaviour. These topics include social influences, human memory, attachment, psychopathology, psychological research methods, approaches to psychology, biopsychology (A-level only), gender development (A-Level only) schizophrenia (A-Level only) aggression (A-level only) and issues, debates and approaches in psychology (A-level only)
