Psychology aims to help students develop their understanding of the way people think and why people behave in certain ways from a variety of perspectives, which is incredibly beneficial to the students in an ever-changing world. The course enables students to develop their analytical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills which helps to prepare them for a range of careers in the future. The course follows the AQA specification studying the core topics: social influence, memory, attachment, approaches, biopsychology, psychopathology, research methods and issues and debates. Of the optional content we have selected Gender, Schizophrenia and Forensic Psychology. We believe this selection of topics continues to develop the students’ interest with this subject, especially with Schizophrenia as Psychopathology proves to be one of the most popular topics within the first year. Gender helps to raise the student’s awareness on very current issues within society around the concept of Gender and Forensic Psychology also builds on students’ knowledge from the other Social Sciences. Psychology is a challenging but rewarding subject that looks at both classical and contemporary research to show how our society has changed over time. Psychology provides an excellent base for many different academic courses or career routes in a variety of areas as students develop a wide-range of transferable skills to prepare them for their future.
