During this two-year course, you will learn about the: • The social influence of others on our behaviour • Early childhood attachments and their effect on personality development and future relationships • The formation of memories and factors affecting eyewitness testimony • The impact of childhood experience on behaviour • The causes and treatments of psychological disorders, such as depression, schizophrenia, phobias and OCD. Study options such as relationships, gender, aggression, and forensic (criminal) psychology are available. You will also develop an understanding of key theoretical concepts and approaches in psychology, plus an appreciation for the methods psychologists use when conducting research. A core aspect of psychology involves learning about how psychologists design research, analyse data, describe key theories, approaches, and studies, apply them to a range of scenarios, and being able to produce clear evaluation and analytical techniques that incorporate a range of debates in psychology. A-level psychology is an ideal subject choice if you have an interest in understanding human behaviour from a scientific perspective. The subject investigates and explains human behaviour, from the formation of memories through to the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system, neurotransmitters, and hormones.
