Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and is primarily concerned with investigating what people do and why. The department has a history of high achievement well above the national average. Therefore, if you listen to the guidance offered by your tutors you too could be a Psychologist of the future!

An A Level in Psychology can take you anywhere. It is one of the most transferable subjects you can study providing you with a variety of skills. Over a quarter of our students progress on to Psychology degrees with the intention of becoming psychologists. Likewise, we have students who have progressed on to careers in medicine, vet science and a range of health professions, dentistry, law, teaching, business, sport and the media to name but a few.

What Our Students Say

Psychology is interesting because it delves into the reasons people behave the way they do which is explained from a variety of different approaches.

Studying Psychology also develops transferable skills, such as maths to interpret data, evaluating research studies and the use of science in the field of Bio-psychology. I have also developed my essay writing ability which will benefit me enormously whilst at university.

After I leave Carmel, I hope to go on to study Biological Sciences at the University of Liverpool.
