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.
