Course summary

A Level Psychology involves studying a wide range of topics, so there is a lot of information to absorb, and importantly, you will need to learn how to apply this knowledge. Because the topics Psychologists study are complex, it is common to find different explanations of psychological phenomena, such as the nature of intelligence. An important skill you will learn is how to evaluate conflicting theories about the topics you cover, and the studies that support, or challenge, them. Discussions about research findings will allow you to develop this skill, and engaging in practical psychological research will help you to improve your knowledge of the methods psychologists use.
