Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. You will develop an understanding of the many underlying factors that influence our behaviour, and the consequences that different life events can have on our personality and actions. The course builds on skills developed in the sciences and humanities, and enables progression into a wide range of other subjects. Psychology will give you an opportunity to learn, understand and evaluate issues happening around you, which can then be applied to the wider world. Psychology offers you the chance to not just study a factual subject, but also enables you to reflect on your own experiences.
