What the college says

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists develop explanations and theories to help them to predict peoples behaviour in different situations. These theories or explanations are tested by psychologists using research studies. You will learn to develop a keen grasp for the scientific nature of psychological research, including how it should be conducted, analysed and reported. Studying psychology will help you to develop a better understanding of why people think and behave as they do; from understanding the everyday choices that they make to analysing truly disturbing criminal acts of aggression. You will begin to appreciate some of the difficulties with being able to identify and treat abnormal behaviour covering a range of mental health problems, from phobias to depression.
