This online A Level Psychology fast track course has been designed to provide a broad introduction to the scope and nature of psychology as a science. This course covers the brand new spec introduced in september 2015. The emphasis is on applying knowledge and understanding rather than just acquiring knowledge, thereby developing students’ transferable skills of analysis, evaluation and critical thinking.
The new specification offers a broad range of topics, with research methods in context. There is a range of topic-based options which bring together explanations from different approaches and engage students in issues and debates in contemporary psychology.
