A and AS Level Psychology students develop their appreciation of the subject by exploring the ways in which psychology is conducted. As part of their studies, students 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 themes and issues. The syllabus reflects the five core areas of psychology, namely cognitive, social, physiological, developmental and the psychology of individual differences; it also relates psychology to education, health, organisations, the environment and abnormality.
