Psychology: AS and A2 Level
In covering many aspects of human behaviour,
Psychology is seen as a subject having a strong
emphasis on scientific investigation and observation, so it
provides a useful link between arts and science subjects.
Course details The course addresses questions relating to
the causes and treatment of mental illness, human
behaviour and the mechanisms and processes of the
mind. It tries to answer such questions as why we forget,
how we remember and the exact nature of stress and its
relationship to illness.
