Yes, Cambridge treats Psychology as a science. Students learn research methods, experimental design, and statistical analysis alongside psychological theories. It is accepted as a science A-Level by many universities.
The course covers biological, cognitive, social, learning, and developmental approaches to psychology. Students study key research studies, evaluate methodologies, and apply psychological concepts to real-world situations.
No prior knowledge is needed. The course introduces psychological concepts, theories, and research methods from the beginning. Strong IGCSE grades in English and Science are helpful.
While not a core requirement, Psychology demonstrates understanding of human behaviour and scientific research skills. It complements Biology and Chemistry well for medical applications.
Assessment is through written examination papers testing knowledge of psychological theories, research methods, and the ability to evaluate and apply psychological concepts to scenarios and studies.
