Who is it for?

Psychology is the science of the human mind and behaviour, and includes the study of mental health and social changes. Ever wondered if prison really does change criminal behaviour? Or why some people conform? Or perhaps if the experience you had before the age of five really do shape the person you are today?

What is covered?

You will cover the following topic areas:

  • Introductory topics in psychology: learn about conformity, social norms, how the mind remembers and forgets and how children form attachments
  • Psychology in context: learn more about the different approaches in psychology and how to design and conduct your own research.

In the second year of the A-level you’ll deepen your understanding of human behaviour. You’ll study additional topics under Approaches in psychology, Biopsychology, Research methods and Issues and debates in psychology.

 

You then choose three further topics; one from each of three option groups.

  • Issues and options in psychology: you’ll learn more about psychological concepts, research methods and ethical issues.
  • Issues and debates in psychology: learn about the fascinating tendencies of human behaviour, with options looking into gender differences and the criminal mind.
