Course summary

Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour that helps us understand the world in which we live. Psychology provides students the opportunity to consider questions such as: • Why do our memories deceive us? · • How do we classify normal and abnormal behaviour? · • What makes someone a hero or a villain? · • Why can stress cause us physical damage? · • How can certain situations make people lose their moral judgement entirely? It is a Science subject which requires strong writing skills. It is an academic subject that is unique in that it complements a wide range of other subjects from the arts to the sciences.
