A Level Psychology Curriculum Overview

A Level Psychology is the scientific exploration of human behaviour—how individuals think, act, react, and interact. This course investigates all facets of behaviour, including the thoughts, feelings, and motivations that underlie it.

Designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to psychology as a science, the A-Level curriculum encompasses a diverse array of psychological concepts, theories, research studies, research methods, and ethical considerations.

The focus of the course is on applying knowledge and understanding in practical contexts, rather than solely memorising information. This approach fosters the development of transferable skills, including analysis, evaluation, and critical thinking, equipping students to engage thoughtfully with psychological concepts and research.
