Course summary

Why Psychology? Have you ever wondered why people behave and act the way they do? Are we more a product of our environment or our genes? How can we tackle issues such as mental health? We consider these questions and many more in Psychology. You will have the opportunity to explore a range of psychological approaches from the Freudian era to modern-day psychologists. In the second year of the course, you will explore a number of real-life implications including addiction, schizophrenia, and criminal behavior. There will be lots of opportunities for debate throughout the course, including ethical issues, cultural bias, and the reliability of memory. Alongside these topics, you will also learn how a psychologist carries out research and will conduct your own investigations.
