A Level Psychology

Pupil Comments:

Psychology is an interesting and fun way to study a science. I’m not someone that enjoys science but psychology isn’t like other sciences. The topics are really interesting.

I’ve enjoyed learning new information about topics that I’m really interested in.

We learn something new every lesson that we can relate to our everyday life.

I am really interested in finding out about memory and how it works- How I can improve mine!!

Learning about the animal studies was the best part because it is different to other subjects and learning about the different pieces of intriguing psychological research is interesting.

You get any support that is needed from the teachers.

Psychology is great if you enjoy interactive and challenging lessons.

Welcome to Psychology

What is psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and how it influences behaviour. Understanding human behaviour can help us address many of the problems and issues in today’s society.

The AQA A level course offers a stimulating, engaging and effective introduction to Psychology. You will be encouraged to develop an understanding of human behaviour, to engage in practical activities to appreciate the methods used to gather evidence and to consider the direct application of psychological knowledge to everyday situations.
