Why Study A Level Psychology With Us?

Psychology explores human thought, behaviour, and emotion—making it one of the most compelling and relevant subjects in modern education. At Oxford Online School, our A Level Psychology course supports students in gaining a scientific and critical understanding of the human mind and its complexities.

Ideal for online learners, homeschoolers, and international students, the course is aligned with the British curriculum and is excellent preparation for degrees in psychology, medicine, social sciences, or education.

Real-Time Support From UK-Based Psychology Teachers

All our Psychology lessons are delivered live by experienced, UK-based teachers who provide engaging, academically rigorous instruction. Our teaching follows the flipped learning model, which allows students to access content before class so live lessons focus on discussion, application, and analysis.

All full-time A Level students are automatically enrolled in our UPP (University Preparation and Progression) programme. This includes:

• One-to-one academic mentoring
• Participation in the Cosmopolitan Future extracurricular programme
• Completion of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which is compulsory for all full-time students

Academic mentors work closely with the Psychology teaching team to ensure students make strong academic progress and engage in a wide range of extracurricular activities such as debate, research clubs, and mental health awareness initiatives.

What You’ll Study

This A Level course follows a modular structure covering:

• Cognitive Psychology – memory, perception, and information processing
• Biological Psychology – the nervous system, hormones, and brain structures
• Social Psychology – obedience, conformity, and group behaviour
• Learning Theories – classical and operant conditioning, observational learning
• Clinical Psychology – abnormality, diagnosis, and models of treatment
• Psychological Research Methods – planning, conducting, and analysing investigations

Students learn to evaluate psychological theories and apply their understanding to contemporary issues and real-world contexts.
