Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is often defined as the ‘science of mind and behaviour’ covering all aspects of human experience using a scientific approach. Psychology is a popular subject which is increasingly attractive to students because it develops a range of transferable skills to further study and the workplace, including critical analysis, independent thinking and research. Psychology is an academic subject and will therefore require quiet reading, note-taking and essay writing. Lessons will be varied and class activities could include the following: • discussions and debates • experiments • role-play • videos • student presentations
