Psychology
Course summary
Our aim within the psychology department is to develop interest in Psychology as a broad academic discipline. To help students gain insight on their own behaviour and the behaviour of others and, develop student understanding of and interest in how Psychology is applied in the real world. In addition to this we aim to deepen student understanding of the scientific process as applied in Psychology so that they think like psychological researchers. Within the psychology department we encourage independence, curiosity and resilience. And strive to develop written and verbal analysis and evaluation skills
