Learners following the Cambridge International AS and A Level Psychology syllabus will learn psychological knowledge and develop psychological skills.


The syllabus aims to encourage an interest in and appreciation of psychology through an exploration of the ways in which psychology is conducted. This exploration includes a review of a number of important research studies and an opportunity to look at the ways in which psychology has been applied. The syllabus uses a wide variety of assessment techniques that will allow learners to show what they know, understand, and are able to do.

Cambridge International A Level Psychology provides a suitable foundation for the study of psychology or related courses in higher education. Equally, it is suitable for learners intending to pursue careers or further study in social science, or as part of a course of general education.
