This is an exciting new adult (19+) evening course for 2021-22. GCSE Psychology may be of interest to those who wish to study an Access to HE Diploma in either Social Science or Health Professions the following year, as it will provide the underpinning knowledge you will be able to develop further in Level 3 study. Equally, this course may be taken by those who wish to explore the subject for their own interest or top up a GCSE profile. The lessons take place at Abbey Park Campus each Tuesday evening for 3 hours, but will be expected to study at home in between classes. A psychology course guide for students will provide important information at the start of the course. This is a very intensive course so you should think carefully about whether you'll have the time to commit to it alongside work, family or other studies.
GCSE Psychology explores the following topics for Paper 1: Memory, Perception, Development and Research Methods. For Paper 2, the topics are Social Influence, Language, thought and communication, Brain and Neuropsychology and Psychological problems. The full specification can be found on the AQA website, providing more detail about the elements in each topic.
You will ideally already have GCSEs (L4 / grade C and above) in English and Maths, but if not, don't worry as there will be a pre-entry assessment before the course starts to make sure your skills are sufficient to meet the demands of the course.
You will be assessed regularly throughout the year by your tutor; four of these summative assessments will be formal progress points so we can set academic targets and work with you to achieve them. There are two end of year external examinations set and assessed by the awarding body; these are usually in May/June.
- Tuition fee: £435
- Total fees: £435
You will need to supply your own stationery and possibly purchase a relevant textbook recommended by the tutor.
You need to apply online quoting course code C7485. Please provide as much detail as you can about your previous qualifications and reasons for wanting to study Psychology. Your application will be acknowledged and then you will be contacted to arrange to take a pre-entry assessment. If successful, we will invite you to enrol in late August / early September.
