Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It is deceptively challenging but the focus on human behaviour ensures that it is consistently gripping and extremely rewarding. It enables you to appreciate the drives and motivations behind a wide range of behaviours in a non-judgmental but practical way. This may be your first experience of learning about people with split brains and what this may mean in relation to perception, consciousness and memory. There will be ample opportunity to make discoveries about positive and negative forms of behaviour, learn how to understand these using the language of psychological perspectives and examine how research can facilitate practical applications to make positive real-world changes in behaviour. Students will study: • Social Influence, Memory, Attachment and Psychopathology; • Approaches, Biopsychology and Research Methods; • Issues and Debates, Gender, Schizophrenia and Aggression.
