Psychology

Course summary

As psychology is the scientific study of human mind and behaviour, anyone who is interested in the motivations behind our thoughts and actions would enjoy this course. You should be confident in English as you will need to write well supported essays, and secure in mathematics as a significant part of the examination is mathematical skill and research methods. More importantly, you need an inquiring mind and an open attitude to conflicting explanations of human behaviour – often there are no ‘right’ answers, and we do enjoy a good debate to help sort through the differing opinions and approaches studied.
