Course Overview

This International A Level Psychology Course with Cambridge will help you develop your appreciation of the subject by exploring the ways in which psychology is conducted. As part of your studies, you also review important research; this provides an insight into the ways in which psychology has been applied, thereby leading to a better understanding of key approaches, research methods and issues and debates.

The syllabus reflects four core areas of psychology, namely biological, cognitive, learning and social; it also relates psychology to abnormality, consumer behaviour, health and organisations.

What can I do with an A Level in Psychology?

Psychology will complement just about any other subject. Students who study psychology often also study biology, sociology, business, or English. Also students, who want a career in any of the caring services, or in marketing or human resources, will find an understanding of psychology useful.

There are many competing explanations and treatments for the conditions/disorders.

Learners will be expected to understand the strengths and weaknesses of these explanations and treatments and compare them with each other.

Consumer Psychology is the study of human behaviour in relation to the retail environment.

For this option learners look at different areas of consumer environments (shops, restaurants and online) and consider how psychology can affect consumer patterns and decision-making.

Learners will also explore the reaction and preferences of consumers to the packaging of products, the marketing of products and the advertising of products.

Health psychologists look at the factors that influence behaviours in both health and community settings.

For this option, learners will look at psychological factors that influence health, and will also examine the management and assessment of health-related behaviours linked to stress, pain and non-adherence to medical advice.

Organisational psychology is the study of behaviours within the workplace. Learners will need to consider how social, physical and psychological environments affect individual and group behaviour in the workplace.
