What the college says
Psychology is a fascinating science concerned with the study of the human mind and behaviour. Anyone who has an interest in analysing human behaviour from a scientific perspective will enjoy psychology. You should be interested in the wide range of influences on behaviour, from the biological (e.g. neurotransmitters, hormones and genes), to the social (e.g. peer groups or those in authority), and be prepared to learn about theories of human behaviour and the research studies that underpin our current understanding.
