Psychology

Qualifications Scotland's Psychology qualifications focus on the scientific study of the mind and behaviour, and enhance learners’ ability to use evidence to explain behaviour. These courses provide opportunities to study and research classic and contemporary psychological topics. Learners develop critical thinking, reasoning and report writing skills.

Please Note: Some materials are only available on the Qualifications Scotland Secure Site. You can access these materials through your Qualifications Scotland coordinator.
