What the college says

Studying Psychology offers a scientific insight into human thinking and behaviour. For A-level students it is a subject which offers a brand new direction of interest and possibility. As an academic discipline it is rapidly growing in importance and complexity, offering a wide choice of future employment opportunities. Students should consider Psychology if they are interested in learning a new academic subject, have an interest in understanding people, have the motivation to work independently, and are willing to acquire new thinking skills. Psychology has become one of the most popular subjects to study at A-level (second most popular in the summer 2022 exams) because it is so versatile in degree applications. For example, Psychology A-level is widely recognised by the majority of Biology degrees as a science subject.
