What the college says
Psychology offers an insight into everyday life and the reasons for behaviour. Valuable insights may be gained into why some people appear to be so much more easily manipulated than others, what the impact that childhood experiences on later life actions really is and how we make life-changing decisions regarding our relationships! In addition, students have the chance to study some of the most famous (and infamous) aspects of Psychology, including the work of Freud, Milgram and Zimbardo among others. Analytical skills are developed as part of the course, as well as your ability to conduct scientific research. Excellent literacy skills would be an advantage.
