Psychology is one of the most popular subjects to study because it has a big impact on all areas of life, from education and health, to the economy and crime. Psychologists apply scientific methodology to explain human behaviour. They formulate theories, test hypotheses through observation and experiment, and analyse their reports with statistical techniques that help them identify important findings. If you are interested in finding out why people behave the way they do or how the brain works then Psychology could be for you. Psychology is the study of human behaviour and mental processes. It is a very wide subject and includes memory, language, group interactions, obedience, prejudice, brain functions, phobias… to name but a few. The course looks at some of the approaches that psychologists follow and by studying selected research in depth, students gain an understanding of the five main areas of Psychology – cognitive, developmental, social, physiological and individual differences. Methodology, psychological debates and ethical considerations permeate the whole course.
