Psychology
Psychology invites students to explore the human mind and behaviour through research and creative thinking.
Oracy tasks help them discuss ideas, analyse findings, and reflect on what makes people tick. Students can conduct experiments, analyse case studies, and explore theories about human behaviour.
Psychology develops critical thinking, empathy, and insight into the human experience.
