Edexcel

Students following the Edexcel specification study five approaches (Social, Cognitive, Psychodynamic, Biological and Learning) at AS level to gain a foundation in psychology.

At A2, students are then able to develop their understanding through selection of a choice of applications, including Criminology, Child, Health and Sport psychology.

Finally, students develop a holistic understanding of psychology, from considering conflicting and complementary explanations of clinical issues and major debates.
