What the college says
Psychology is the scientific study of mind, brain and behaviour. Psychologists employ the scientific method: formulating theories, testing hypotheses through observation and experiment and using statistics to analyse their findings. You don't need to have studied GCSE psychology to study the A level but you will need an interest in biology and a good grasp of maths, (particularly arithmetic, data handling, algebra and graphs). Psychology can be used in a wide variety of people-oriented careers and will give you a great set of transferable skills including communication, analysis and research and problem-solving skills.
