Course summary

Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour. Due to psychological investigations many behaviourisms have been explained allowing us to apply theories in many practical contexts, including areas such as eye–witness testimony and children services. The units are designed to give students a broad understanding of psychology, with the chance of choosing more specialised options as the course progresses.
