However, this course will also benefit students who are looking to pursue other courses or careers. For example, the Social Psychology module is relevant to anyone considering studying Business and Management, while the focus on mental health disorders may appeal to those considering a future in Medicine. However, the development of key skills, such as the ability to think critically and to construct an effective argument, will be beneficial to a range of fields. The initial part of the course focuses on examining behaviour from different ‘approaches’, applying this to issues such as prejudice, aggression, phobias and memory. In the second year of the course students then look at the practical applications of these approaches by applying knowledge to Criminal Psychology and Mental Health Disorders. Throughout the course students will also develop an understanding of research methods, ethics and data analysis through a series of practicals, and the course culminates by looking at the wider issues and debates within the subject. Overall the course offers something for everyone, and links are consistently made with both current and historical events.
