Advanced PSP Psychology - Perpetua
Perpetua students demonstrate independent curiosity, evaluative depth, and academic resilience. They analyse complex material—such as the nature/nurture debate, cultural bias, or the interactionist approach to schizophrenia—with increasing nuance. Their essays are well structured, comparative, and include sustained engagement with both theoretical and methodological critique. They begin to show a personal voice in their work, reflecting thoughtfully on controversies and the application of psychology in fields such as education, mental health, and criminal justice.
These students are often active in Psychology Society, Get Psyched sessions, or interdisciplinary projects, and they read widely around the subject, including psychological literature, academic podcasts, or TED talks. Their IRPs reflect genuine research interest and methodological care, and they frequently contribute to broader academic dialogue through mentoring, presentations, or writing.
