Our mind controls the way we think, feel and behave in certain ways. But how does the mind work? Why do different people learn in different ways? Why do some people run from spiders and others keep them as pets? Why do some people suffer from mental illness and others do not? Psychology A Level may not be able to provide definitive answers to these questions (partly because psychologists are always learning more about the answers to these questions!) but it will certainly allow you to evaluate different theories and evidence so you are able to develop informed opinions. Psychology A Level covers areas of research that have important real world applications such as social change, mental health care and learning styles. Areas of Psychology that are covered are: Social influence, memory, attachment, psychopathology, A Level Psychology 42 approaches used in psychology, biopsychology, research methods, and issues and debates in Psychology. We will also select 3 further areas to study in more detail. Examples of these areas are gender, eating behaviour and aggression.
Grade 5 in any GCSE science.
3 written exams, each worth 33.3% of the final mark. All exams will be sat at the end of Year 13 and comprise of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions. There is no coursework.
