A Level Psychology

A Level Psychology is an excellent choice if you’re interested in a career working with people. It can open the door to a wide range of people-focused professions, including counselling, education, healthcare, social work, criminology, and many others.

What makes psychology so interesting is that it sits at the intersection of science and the humanities. You’ll explore different explanations for human behaviour, while challenging ideas and using evidence to decide what you think.

The course covers a range of fascinating and relevant topics, including social influence, mental health, attachment, prejudice, addiction, and criminal behaviour.

Once you’ve completed your studies and passed your exams, you’ll gain a nationally recognised AQA A Level Psychology qualification, worth up to 56 UCAS points.
