Psychology

Course summary

Psychology can best be described as the science of human mind and behaviour, and psychologists carry out experiments relating to a number of everyday experiences: • Why do people obey? • What happens when we get scared and can we stop it happening? • Are we all abnormal or does it depend upon the time and place? • Does your childhood attachment determine your future? If you can write accurately and fluently; think logically and make judgments on what you see; listen to and work well with other students, then you should do well in Psychology. Psychology gives you a good grounding in the skills of writing and arguing which you will need at university, and insights into a range of areas that could prove useful to you in the future.
