Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and the mind - as such, it is accepted as a science subject when applying for medicine or nursing - it is also a very useful subject for those wishing to pursue those career paths, as it does give insight into how behaviors are learned and how people can be encouraged to change them for more helpful behaviors. It is also very useful for anyone wanting to go into a career in business or marketing, as Psychology modules are studied at degree level in these subjects, so a grounding in Psychology is very useful. It is also a very interesting subject in its own right - you will learn to be much more aware of how pervasive psychology is in everyday life, from how we raise our children to how we explain the causes of genocides. Because Psychology is such a broad subject, it is seen as a desirable foundation for many different degree-level subjects and many different apprenticeship courses.
