Building on from GCSE Biology and Maths, there are skills that overlap into the A-level specification that can be used to strengthen your knowledge and understanding. You should also be able to leave the course armed with skills that will enable you to write your dissertation at university, including laboratory reports/journal articles. It is hoped that you take your learning and appreciation of Psychology beyond the textbook so that you can see its value in the mundane and in the extraordinary. Most of all, the intention of this course is to be able to apply it to everyday life so that you have a healthy appreciation about mental health, social behavior as well as an understanding about the brain and body from a neurological lens.
