Psychology is the science that seeks to understand the reasons for thought and behaviour, and tries to do so by studying how the brain works along with other factors that might affect our actions, such as social or environmental influences. In doing this, Psychology also tries to work out which, if any, has the bigger influence on our actions – biology or environment? Of course, answers to these questions are needed when helping people with psychological disorders, educating our children, or helping to rehabilitate criminals.
To study A levels, you will require a minimum of 5 GCSEs including two at grade 6 and three at grade 5. English language must be at a minimum of grade 4. You will require a grade 6 in any GCSE English and grade 5 in any humanities subject, plus grade 5 in mathematics and grade 6 in science. If you have studied the triple award then you will require a grade 6 in biology, in addition to the general entry requirements. Learners should have an interest in reading about human behaviour but they should also be aware that there is a substantial amount of science (biology) and research methodology involved in the course, as is the ability to write effective essays.
