PSYCHOLOGY

Level 3 Applied

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. Applied Psychology focuses on how Psychology can be used to tackle real world problems and improve people’s lives. Unlike A Level Psychology, it is assessed using both coursework and examinations

You will gain transferable skills in critical thinking, exam techniques and revision. You gain skills in conducting research, report writing and academic conventions.

Many of our students go on to University, whilst others follow the apprenticeship route such as Police Degree Apprenticeships and Apprenticeships at Addenbrooke’s

Georgia Year 2 Student

Applied Psychology has been a fascinating subject, learning the different views of how the mind works and why people act the way that they do in different situations

This is my first applied course and I have really enjoyed doing the coursework aspect: researching, planning and carrying out a study all of which was really fun to do

Finally, I like taking the knowledge that I have gained from psychology and applying that to the real world as it has sort of opened my eyes to some behaviours that I see in day to day life
