Psychology

Course summary

As the study of mind and behaviour, Psychology encompasses everything that is human. Whether it is how faulty neurotransmitter activity might cause schizophrenia or how the individual develops their gender identity, psychologists have attempted to analyse and explain behaviour using a variety of research methods. It is the only subject to study and assess the credibility of a range of research methods and students learn to collect and analyse all types of quantitative and qualitative data. A full understanding of the British Psychological Society ethical guidelines is also covered.
