Year 12
Students engage in several disciplines of Psychology, focusing on different perspectives of understanding behaviour and how this is linked to psychologists. We explore the role of a clinical psychologist in ‘Psychopathology’; Behavioural Psychologists in ‘Attachment’; Behavioural Psychologists in ‘Social Influence’; and Cognitive Psychologists in the ‘Memory’ topic. If students choose to study Psychology at undergraduate level they will choose which area they will focus on.
Year 13
Similar to year 12, students will engage in a variety of sub-topics which demonstrates different career paths within Psychology. Notably in the second year this includes Forensic Psychologists in understanding criminal behaviour. In addition, students also explore Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive Neurosciences as possible career paths.
Over the two years there are explicit references to the economy in how Psychological research impacts on growth of this both financially and behaviourally.
