Psychology

Course summary

Have you ever wondered what makes some people behave the way they do, why you’re scared of spiders or how different things can affect your mood and even your confidence? Psychologists could hold the answers to your questions. Psychology is also the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour. Psychologists observe and conduct experiments to find out more about the way people act and interact. They try to understand what motivates, challenges or changes us and use this understanding to help us tackle personal and social problems.
