The mind is something intangible that exists within our brain. An unseen process of enzymes, chemicals and electric current moving within the structure of our neural networks dictates why we feel, think and behave the way we do. But why is it that some people suffer from stress and mental illness? Why do some people fear snakes yet a few think they are cuddly? Can we improve memory? Why are the first years of a child’s development so important? Psychology looks at questions like these in the study of the human mind and behaviour. It is a science that has real world applications to issues in everyday life, ranging from things like artificial intelligence to social change. Psychologists observe and measure behaviour and their therapies are based on scientific studies. In your first year you will study topics such as approaches to psychology, research methods, social influence, phobias, attachment and memory. This introduction will form a sound basis for the second year, in which you might study topics such as gender, forensic psychology, stress, addiction or schizophrenia.
