Cambridge International AS & A Level Psychology (9990) introduces students to the scientific study of mind and behaviour. The course explores key approaches in psychology — biological, cognitive, developmental, social and clinical, and develops the ability to evaluate psychological evidence critically, understand research methodology and apply psychological concepts to real-world situations.
Students learn about influential psychological theories and the classic and contemporary studies that support or challenge them. The course places strong emphasis on research methods, enabling students to design, conduct and evaluate psychological research. This empirical and evaluative approach develops skills that are highly valued in academic study and a wide range of professions.
Cambridge International A Level Psychology provides an excellent foundation for further study in psychology, neuroscience, medicine, education, social work, criminology and the broader social sciences.
