What You’ll Learn

Our program strictly follows the current Cambridge International AS & A Level Psychology (9990) syllabus.

  • AS Level: Students study four psychological approaches—biological, cognitive, learning, and social—through 12 compulsory core studies. This is integrated with research methodology, approaches, issues, and debates.
  • A Level: Building on the AS foundation, students study two specialist options chosen from Clinical Psychology, Consumer Psychology, Health Psychology, and Organisational Psychology.
