Psychology

Course summary

Students will be expected to: • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of psychological concepts, theories, research studies, research methods, and ethical issues. • Apply their newfound knowledge in a range of contexts with analysis and evaluation. • Develop competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills. There is a large quantity of new material to be delivered for a subject that most students will probably not have studied at GCSE before. Therefore students must have a strong aptitude for independent learning and be able to deliver coherent arguments both verbally and in writing.
