Psychology GCSE – a brief overview

The study of psychology is a fascinating journey through the hows and whys of human behaviour. Our engaging course will cover interesting topics such as Body Language, Prejudice, Conformity and Gender roles, to name but a few.

Each lesson of the GCSE Psychology course begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions, and a large number of simply drawn and easy-to-copy illustrations. There are eleven tutor-marked assignments, including one practice exam paper.

No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed or required.

The course covers the entire syllabus in nine modules:

Introductory module
Module One: Memory
Module Two: Perception
Module Three: Development
Module Four: Research Methods
Module Five: Social Influence
Module Six: Language, Thought and Communication
Module Seven: Brain and Neuropsychology

Students will have the opportunity to complete 10 Tutor-marked assignments and 2 mock examinations papers.
