What the college says

Psychology is a fascinating subject for anyone who is interested in how and why people behave as they do. Whether it is studied at school or university level, the content of the course is fully applicable to real life and, as a modern experimental science, research in the subject is also cutting edge. The content of this A Level course is relevant to many higher education courses and careers as it focusses on applied psychology. It is also very broad and encompasses a range of topics in psychology, including drug addiction, learning theories, memory and forgetting, explanations and treatments of antisocial behaviour, and clinical psychology, so is bound to interest a wide range of students.
