Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of human and animal behaviour: through its study it is hoped that students will acquire an understanding of what makes them behave in a certain way and how to interpret and explain other people’s behaviour. Students will look to answer questions such as; ‘How can we improve our memory?’ ‘What effect do nurseries have on our children?’ ‘How does stress lead to illness?’ ‘Would I make a good eye witness?’ ‘Why do we follow the crowd?’ ‘How successful are treatments for mental disorders?'.
At AS Level, the course introduces key areas and approaches in Psychology, including cognitive, developmental, biological and social psychology, as well as the study of individual differences & research methods.
