Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. It is therefore relevant to every walk of life, from early years development,to how our behaviours and thoughts are influencedby others. By exploring a range of Psychological theories and concepts, you will d iscover new insights and understanding of the human condition. The course covers explanations of human behaviour from a wide range of theoretical approaches, such as Biological, Developmental, Cognitive, Social and Psychoanalytic approaches. Students then apply their knowledge to specific fields of study, such as how Memories are formed, how our body reacts in times of stress, what are the underlying causes and treatments of Psychiatric illnesses and how concepts such as Obedience and Conformity can influence our behaviours. Students will also have to grapple some quite advanced Philosophical questions about humans, such as to what degree our behaviours are under our own control and whether human behaviour is a result of our Biology or environmental influences.
