Course summary

A successful Psychology student has an appetite for understanding how scientific principles can be applied to human behaviour. If you are interested in people and inquisitive about their behaviour, this is the subject for you. Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. We look at people’s motivations behind different behaviours from a scientific point of view. We explore research into behaviours in an attempt to explore answers to questions such as: Are some people just born evil? Are each of the hemispheres of the brain responsible for different functions and behaviours and how would we know? Topics range from biological explanations of behaviour to how interacting with other people can influence your behaviour. Studying Psychology will equip you with numeracy, communication, IT, organisation and analysis skills and provide a valuable background for a variety of careers including management, personnel, advertising, marketing, teaching, uniformed services, nursing, health and welfare. Further training and experience beyond degree level is usually required for qualification as a professional psychologist; clinical, educational, forensic or organisational.
