What the college says

Psychology is a science. It is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. As a science, knowledge and understanding of research methods, practical research skills, and mathematical skills are assessed in all 3 exams. Students studying psychology gain a broad overview of various topics central to psychology; develop an understanding of explanations of behaviour from different schools of psychological thought, and learn to analyse the strengths and limitations of the various psychological approaches. Students will analyse, interpret, and evaluate scientific information to make judgements and reach conclusions; and apply understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures to theoretical and practical contexts. Students will also study the issues and debates pertinent to modern psychological research.
