Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour, and it aims to undercover the reasoning and origins of not only mental ill health, but the functionality of our brain and how we, as humans, are able to communicate and interact in the way that we do. Everything can be linked back to psychology, which is exhilarating, and therefore a curious mind and indeed, a flexible mind, is a must, as being a ‘young science’, psychologists often produce more conflicting research than ‘answers’. Therefore, pupils must be prepared to analyse, critique and balance various arguments and not to seek as definite ‘answer’.
