Psychology
Course summary
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. Students examine how behaviour is studied and how psychologists test their hypotheses. As well as exploring and evaluating a range of psychological research, we also explore the different theories and debates that still shape and influence psychology today. There is a significant amount of mathematics in Psychology. Students will be expected to carry out research and experiments.
