Psychology is often defined as the ‘Science of Mind and Behaviour’. The study of psychology will help pupils to gain a better understanding of their own, and other people's, behaviour. As well as developing an understanding of cognition, development and psychopathology, pupils learn how issues such as eyewitness testimony, depression and stress can be better understood and managed using psychological methods. 


Psychology is a discipline with inherent practical and theoretical elements and its' study develops skills of analysis, application and evaluation, as well as enhancing essay writing and presentation skills.
