Psychology

Course summary

Do you ever find yourself asking questions such as: ‘Why do good people do bad things?’, ‘Why can I remember song lyrics so easily, whilst my mind turns to jelly in exams?’ and ‘Is our destiny predetermined or do we have some control over it?’ If that sounds like you, this is the course for you! Psychology is the perfect subject for any student who wants to explore the most fascinating subject matter possible – themselves. You will never find yourself questioning, ‘When will I ever use this outside of lessons?’ In fact, you will be able to apply your knowledge to everyday life and situations in order to help better understand others and yourselves; for instance, learning the most effective ways to influence others and becoming aware of biases in your own perception. After studying Psychology, you may never look at the world in quite the same way – don’t say we didn’t warn you!
