WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW OR BE ABLE TO DO BEFORE TAKING PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SIXTH FORM? Psychology is the study of how the mind works and the reasons why people behave as they do. Students are required to analyse various approaches to Psychology and use scientific methods to investigate and develop an understanding of both their own and others behaviours. No prior knowledge of the subject is required but it expected that students will have a minimum grade 6 in English, Mathematics and Biology at GCSE.
