The reformed A level Psychology is now a member of the science suite of A level subjects and it combines well with both sciences and humanities.
There are an increasing number of areas that require a psychology specialist, including Clinical Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Educational Psychology and Organisational Psychology. A prerequisite for any of these vocational areas is a recognised psychology degree for which ‘A’ Level psychology is a thorough introduction. Psychology is also of benefit to a wide range of other professions including medicine, teaching and business; and is recommended to anyone who is interested in ‘what makes people tick’.
