Course summary

If you like to know what makes people tick and why they behave the way they do, then Psychology is for you. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior. It is the study of what people (and animals) do and why they do it. Psychologists also try to use their understanding to help people with difficulties, and to bring about change for the better in fields such as health care, education, and industry. This A Level course consists of three units over two years of study. The three units are set at the end of the two years and consist of: Unit 1: Introductory Topics in Psychology. This includes the study of Social Influence, Memory, Attachment, and Psychopathology. Unit 2: Psychology in Context.

This includes Issues and Debates in Psychology, Gender, Schizophrenia, and Forensic Psychology. Why Study Psychology?
