ABOUT THE COURSE

Psychology allows you to study the human mind, human behaviour and human experience from a scientific perspective - helping you understand what makes us who we are, and what makes people 'tick'. You can then apply and use this knowledge to address social and personal problems.

  • Social influence
  • Memory
  • Attachment
  • Psychopathology
  • Approaches in Psychology
  • Biopsychology
  • Advanced research methods
  • Issues and debates in psychology
  • Relationships
  • Gender
  • Cognition and development
  • Schizophrenia
  • Eating behaviour
  • Stress
  • Aggression
  • Forensic psychology
  • Addiction

WHAT WILL I NEED?

You will need:

  • Three GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including English Language, Science and Maths, plus two further GCSEs at grade 4 or above
  • A reference from your previous school/college

All applicants must have an interview to confirm that A Levels are suitable for them.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?

During the 1st year there will be 5 formal internal assessments which you will need to pass in order to progress into the 2nd year. There is an examined coursework element that you will complete by February of the 2nd year. At the end of the 2nd year there are two public examinations.

WHAT WILL IT COST?

If you will be aged 16, 17 or 18 on 31st August prior to the start date of your course and you have the legal right to remain in the UK for the duration of your programme then your study with us will be free. Please see here for the documents you will need to show us.

Some courses will have other associated costs, such as for specialist materials and trips. Many of our students are eligible for financial support, see here for details.

WHAT CAN I DO AFTER?

A Levels are widely regarded as the standard entry qualification for top universities in the UK, and the rest of the world. Many of our students go on to study for a degree at the university of their choice, with some choosing to progress into apprenticeships or other employment.
