Psychology

Course summary

Fundamentally, Psychology is about people and what makes us who we are. It appeals to all interested in the question of what may lie behind our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The course offers students the opportunity to consider the origins, nature and development of key psychological debates. Students will examine human behaviour and experience from a variety of perspectives while developing the essential skills of analysis, independent thinking and research. Lessons typically follow the seminar model. Students are encouraged to become involved in the discussion and to undertake their investigations as they learn to think like a psychologist.
