Cambridge University Psychology AS Level Essay Competition 2012

Announced on 23rd January 2012 Students in their first year of study for A-Level, Scottish Higher Level or an equivalent qualification are invited to enter the Psychology AS Level Essay Competition. This year, we are inviting essays on either of the following titles:

'Are gender differences fact or fiction? Discuss with respect to at least two distinct measures or traits.'

or

'What is meant by the term 'good-enough' parenting, and how might this construct be useful from EITHER a theoretical OR a practical perspective?'

These essays should address issues within developmental and/or social psychology and demonstrate both a breadth of knowledge and ideas and an ability to write with clarity and coherence. Schools and colleges may submit essays from a maximum of three pupils. Not all of the previous winners studied psychology at school: we’d like to emphasize that the competition is open to all students who are thinking about a degree in Psychology.

More information can be found in the competition details.

Good luck people - go on have a go!
