A LEVELS PHYSICS
PSYCHOLOGY
Studying physics is a great choice if you are interested in exploring the nature of the physical world. This course emphasizes the context and applications of physics, letting you see how physics can improve people’s lives and how it is used in engineering and technology in the modern world.
Psychology offers the opportunity to study the reasons why people behave the way they do. It explains everything from judgment and perception, to complex psychological disorders, including depression and schizophrenia.

Psychologists use experimental methods, observation and statistical analysis to research and test their theories.
