What will you study?
AQA A Level Psychology (2025) explores human behaviour through scientific research and psychological theory. Students study key areas such as memory, attachment, social influence, psychopathology, approaches in psychology, and research methods. The course also includes options like aggression, schizophrenia, and gender, allowing students to investigate the biological, psychological, and social explanations for behaviour in these areas. Throughout the course, students develop analytical skills and a deeper understanding of how psychological knowledge is applied to real-world issues.
Studying Psychology at AS Level/A Level will provide you with the knowledge to explain human behaviour and will give you an appreciation of individual differences that exist within society. You will earn valuable analytical skills, which will enable you to critically examine the evidence for and against an argument. Students will also process and assess the value of numerical and other kinds of data.
