Studying your A-Level
A-Level Psychology is an opportunity to delve into the human mind and explore, and understand, why we behave the way we do.
Psychology is one of the most interesting and pioneering fields in the world, especially with greater awareness and importance being placed on our mental health. It has never been a more interesting time to learn how the human mind works.
During your studies you will develop an understanding of key psychological concepts and theories. You will examine ethical issues, analyse and interpret psychological concepts and evaluate treatments.
Your A-level Psychology will also include Biopsychology, Psychopathology, Memory and more.
Designed in line with AQA syllabus, this recognised qualification will help you work towards your academic and professional goals.
