Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is a scientific discipline encompassing number, communication, written and ICT skills. It is useful for professions that involve dealing with people including teaching, solicitor, social work, sports psychology and medicine. It combines well with many subjects including Biology, Mathematics, Philosophy and Ethics as well as Chemistry. During the 2 years, you will discover research that explains why we act the way we do. Is it due to our genetics? Or is it down to our friendships? Is there anything we can do to change ourselves or is our personality predetermined? Do our dreams mean anything? Why do we forget some things but fail to forget other things? (Like that time you called your Teacher 'Mum'). Psychology allows you to explain human behaviour in a scientific way.
