This course will be of relevance to anyone who is interested in the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour. You will learn the many different ways there are of explaining behaviour and this will offer an introductory insight into why people behave as they do. Psychology offers explanations for questions such as “How do I improve my memory?”, “Why do people obey and conform?”, “Why do people get depressed?” and “What is the cause of criminality?” As Psychology is a scientific discipline, it uses scientific methods to both analyse and explain human behaviour. Students will learn how to design and conduct psychological experiments.
