What the college says

Students really enjoy this subject because they find it relevant to their everyday life. There is a wealth of fascinating material to reflect upon ranging from false memory to serial murder and the causes of hallucinations. The course is examined through a range of questions ranging from multiple choice questions, short answers to extended writing. It is therefore beneficial to have an interest in both English and essay writing as well as Science, where the scientific method is applied to psychological enquiry. The Research Methods paper has a strong mathematical focus so an interest in statistical analysis would also be helpful.
