Psychology is an ever-evolving subject that helps you to understand human behaviour and mental processes. We study the theories of great psychologists and seek to understand the various approaches and methods used to examine behaviours, thoughts and feelings. You will learn the value of Psychology in everyday life and how it can impact everyone, from how attachments are formed to how Psychology has influenced interview techniques used by police when speaking to eyewitnesses or from learning about different functions of parts of the brain to how phobias are developed and maintained.
