What can a psychology teacher expect in Cambridge?
Psychology is one of the most popular A level subjects in Cambridge, with large groups in the sixth form colleges and in 11–18 schools such as Chesterton, Netherhall, Impington and Comberton. Some schools also offer GCSE psychology at KS4.
Cambridge is a world centre for psychology and neuroscience research, including the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and the university's psychology department, and students can attend lectures and events through the Cambridge Festival.
Departments are often small, so teachers who can also teach sociology or health and social care are especially valued. Confidence with research methods and statistics is essential.
