What the college says
Psychology is a fascinating science concerned with the study of the mind and behaviour. It has connections with many subjects, such as biology and sociology, and has a broad range of applications in everyday life, including childhood development, stress, health and mental illness. The aim of psychologists is to explore questions that give us a better understanding of people’s behaviour and the common factor linking people who study psychology is curiosity and a search for knowledge. The course will enable you to learn to write essays, develop skills of analysis and to construct logical arguments.
