Psychology A Level (AQA)

Course Overview

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour. Psychologists approach the study of human beings differently to best understand why we behave as we do.

Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes many sub-fields of study in areas such as child development, sports psychology, health psychology, psychopathology, social behaviour and cognitive neuroscience. Psychologists perform scientific and non-scientific investigations and then apply their theoretical findings to explain everyday behaviour.
