What the college says

Psychology is a fascinating subject and is classed as a science. To some extent we are all naïve psychologists as we try to interpret and understand the behaviour of those around us. Psychologists further our understanding by generating theories and hypotheses and using scientific methods to test and draw conclusions about human and non-human animal behaviour. The study of Psychology provides the student with transferable skills which can be utilised within many careers including medicine, dentistry, law, forensics, social work, teaching, advertising and business management. It is extremely useful in any career which involves people, or understanding people.
