Psychology is an intriguing subject the aims to provide students with knowledge of the human mind and how it is correlated with our behaviour. Psychology is seen as a subject having a strong emphasis on scientific investigation and observation, so it provides a useful link between arts and science subjects. A Level Psychology will allow you to think about human behaviour from a number of viewpoints. You will be challenged to combine rigorous scientific and mathematical work with research and discussion. You’ll get plenty of chance to get involved in debating theories and evidence, including voicing your opinions in writing on current affairs, as well as the fundamentals of the subject. Over your two years studying A Level Psychology you will gain an insight into the causes of a wide variety of human behaviours, their impact on daily lives and the science that has evolved around them. The course addresses questions relating to the causes and treatment of mental illness, human behaviour and the mechanisms and processes of the mind. You will focus on some revolutionary theories and research which have shaped our understanding of the subject. You will also study how we conduct psychological investigations, there is also an emphasis on current debates such as the ethics of neuroscience, the mother as primary care-giver of an infant and relevance of positive psychology in today’s society. Having learnt about the various psychological approaches in unit 1, students are expected to apply this knowledge and understanding to human/animal behaviours.
You need to achieve 5 A-C grades at GCSE including Maths(point score of 5 ), English Language (point score of 5) and Science.
