The course will give students a firm academic grounding in Psychology and allow them to apply their understanding to a number of areas in the ‘real world’. In addition, students will have acquired substantial experience in the practical work associated with the subject, experiencing a range of data collection techniques and developing an awareness of data and how it can be analysed.
