A-Level Psychology is a science, along with Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. It involves studying physiology and the nervous system and it involves analysing data. Psychology allows you to understand yourself and others around you. It looks at the biological and psychological causes of behaviour. It is a fascinating course but it is challenging.

This course is ideal for learners who wish to learn more about human behaviour and the science of the mind. The course covers how individual behaviour can be influenced by a range of different factors and how different factors interact to explain human behaviour.
