Psychology

Course summary

Why Study Psychology? Psychology is the scientific study of thought, emotion and behaviour. A Level Psychology equips students with a scientific understanding of the motivations of human behaviour and the methodological skills to be able to critically analyse research. Psychology at A Level has a similar assessment method to the sciences and the assessment objectives are weighted similarly; thus, students should demonstrate an academic ability and interest in Biology and Chemistry as well as a broader interest in why humans behave the way they do.
