Psychology 9990

The Cambridge International AS & A Level Psychology (9990) is an internationally recognised qualification designed for learners typically aged 16 to 19 years. The qualification may be studied as a standalone AS Level or as a full A Level and is widely accepted by universities around the world. No formal previous study of psychology is required, although an interest in human behaviour and scientific enquiry is beneficial. The full A Level is typically completed over approximately two years and is assessed through four examination papers, normally taken within one examination series or through a staged assessment route.

Throughout this course, you will explore how psychologists investigate human thought, behaviour and emotion using scientific research methods. You will study major psychological approaches, core research studies, research methodology and specialist topics such as Clinical, Consumer, Health or Organisational Psychology. As you progress, you will develop analytical, evaluative and investigative skills while learning to apply psychological concepts to real-life situations. The qualification provides an excellent foundation for university studies in psychology, neuroscience, medicine, education, business, healthcare, law, human resources and many other related disciplines.
