A2 Level Psychology - Studying Psychology will change the way you think about yourself and other people; it is the study of the human mind and behavior. At The Downs School we follow the AQA specification, the most popular Psychology course in the country. This thought-provoking and wide-ranging course builds on previous qualifications, retaining the most valuable and exciting features of these, and offers an engaging and thought-provoking introduction to Psychology. This course is designed to: • Enable students to develop a broad knowledge and understanding of the core areas of psychology: (social, cognitive, developmental, biological and individual differences) through a range of popular and accessible topics. • Develop skills which are highly valued by Higher Education and employers including critical analysis, independent thinking and research. • Challenge students to view the world around them, and themselves, from different perspectives. • Enable students to bring together explanations from different psychological approaches. • Engage students in issues and debates in psychology. In addition to developing a wide range of valuable skills, Psychology requires a good standard of literacy as producing extended written answers is an important feature of the course. Therefore, it is essential that students achieve a minimum Grade B in at least one of their English GCSEs. The requirement of a Grade B in Mathematics GCSE is because students need to be able to work confidently with data from investigations.
