What You’ll Learn

The new IB Psychology course began teaching in August 2025, with the new assessment model applying from May 2027. The curriculum is framed around three interconnected pillars used to investigate four contexts of human behaviour. The subtopic list includes all topics detailed in the IB Psychology HL subject guide:

Concepts Content Contexts
Bias Biological approach Health and well-being
Causality Cognitive approach Human development
Change Sociocultural approach Human relationships
Measurement Research methodology Learning and cognition
Perspective
Responsibility

Our programme comprehensively prepares students for all assessment objectives. Students receive targeted guidance for their research proposals and external assessments, with extensive practice in synthesising theories, analysing data, and developing well-supported arguments.

Assessment Overview

External Assessment (80% of final grade):

  • Paper 1 (25% | 1 hour 30 mins): Assesses the integration of psychological concepts, content, and contexts via short-answer and concept-based extended-response questions.
  • Paper 2 (25% | 1 hour 30 mins): Focuses on applying concepts and content to research contexts, including class practicals and evaluating an unseen research study.
  • Paper 3 (30% | 1 hour 45 mins): HL only. Focuses on data analysis and interpretation using source-based questions related to the HL extension topics.

Internal Assessment (20% of final grade | 20 hours):
