What the college says

A2 Level: There are three externally assessed units, taken at the end of two years of study. As with the AS qualification, each examination will contain multiple choices, short answer and extended essay questions. All exams have equal weighting. Introductory topics in psychology covers four of the topics studied in the first year of the course, memory, attachment, social influences and psychopathology together with essays on how these topics relate to issues and applications in the wider world. Paper two, Psychology in context covers approaches, research methods and biopsychology. The third paper, Issues and Options in psychology looks at issues and debates such as nature/nurture, and ethnocentrism, as well as giving students the chance to study three optional topics from a choice of nine. These are likely to be forensic psychology, eating behaviours and gender.
