Students will develop an understanding of the workings of the mind, both in an anatomical and cognitive sense. The course enables students to develop skills in analytical techniques and evaluating skills both in writing and orally. In Psychology we ask interesting and popular questions: why do ‘good’ people make ‘bad’ decisions? Do our early relationships with parents and our upbringing impact adult relationships? What causes mental illnesses? How can we treat the array of mental illnesses? Psychology is increasingly popular; it has moved into the top three for both A-level and university degree subject choices.
