The AS level demonstrates an understanding of people and by completing the A2, the student should have developed the power of critical analysis in dealing with human phenomena. At degree level, Psychology can open the doorway to a number of careers: Personnel, Management, Caring Professions and Teaching, for example. A good degree can lead to becoming a Chartered Psychologist in areas clinical, educational, industrial, occupational or forensic.
