What the college says

Psychology is the study of human behaviour which strives to help us understand the way we think, act and feel in our everyday lives. Psychology challenges students to apply scientific techniques to study a variety of human phenomena such as children’s development, mental disorders and Psychopathology. Psychology has become one of the most popular A level in recent years because it is removed from the typical GCSE syllabus that pupils have been used to. Although this is the case it is still an extremely practical subject as students are required to carry out Psychological investigations and evaluate their findings. Students are able to draw upon their knowledge of Maths, English, PSE and Science to report on the behaviour of individuals and society as a whole.
