Course summary

The mind is something intangible that exists within our brain. An unseen process of enzymes, chemicals, and electric current moving within the structure of our neural networks dictates why we feel, think, and behave the way we do. But why is it that some people suffer from stress and mental illness? Why do some fear snakes yet some think them cuddly? Psychology looks at questions like these in the study of the human mind and behavior. It is a science that has real-world applications to issues in everyday life. The course is made up of eight compulsory topics of study and three optional groups of topics (optional topics) are chosen by the psychology department). The optional topics that you will study in Year 2 of the course are 9. Relationships, 13. Eating Behaviour and 15. Forensic Psychology.
