What is it? The scientific study of the human mind, its functions and subsequent behaviour. We cover a range of topics including memory, attachment, social behaviour, and psychopathology. Why study this course at Blackpool Sixth? Currently our students are participating in contemporary psychological research with Liverpool John Moores University. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to conduct independent research into their own areas of interest. The Psychology department is dedicated to providing students with hands-on experience of selected key areas studied on the course. For example, students gain a valuable perspective on forensic psychology by witnessing real cases unfold in the law courts. Specific course entry requirements: Grade 5 in GCSE Science (in particular Biology) and grade 5 in GCSE maths required. Grade 5 in English Language is preferred.
