What the college says

Students learn about different psychological perspectives, methods used to develop theories and studies to support these theories.

You will cover a range of approaches in Psychology including psychodynamic, positive psychology and the behaviourist approach. You will develop key debating skills using current research to build balanced arguments, as well as understanding the research process.
