Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. It is a popular subject which is attractive to students because it develops a deeper understanding of social, biological and cultural influences on behaviour. Students who are curious about why people behave the way they do find the subject a rewarding choice and successful students develop good note-taking skills with a willingness to question ideas and contribute to discussions, consolidating their understanding of what can be some quite tricky or subtle ideas.
Examination Structure: The linear A Level in psychology comprises three units that are all examined at the end of Year 13. It is important to note that statistical calculations are involved in the examinations, so therefore encourage students to have a good background level of scientific and mathematical knowledge and understanding. The three units are as follows: Paper 1: Introductory Topics in Psychology · Social influence · Memory · Attachment · Psychopathology Paper 2: Psychology in Context · Approaches in Psychology · Biopsychology · Research Methods Paper 3: Issues and Options in Psychology · Issues and Debates in Psychology · Relationships · Schizophrenia · Forensic Psychology Impact Students who have taken A-Level Psychology have successfully gained places to study for degrees in disciplines such as Medicine, Neuroscience, Physiology, Nursing, Health Studies (including Child Care), Physiotherapy, Law, Social Work, Marketing, Education and of course Psychology!
