What the college says

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Therefore students study theories which try to explain why we do what we do. For example, how accurate are eye witness testimonies? Or what factors affect our obedience? We apply these theories and pieces of research to everyday life, making it relevant to everyone. WHERE DOES IT LEAD? The course is well suited to students who have a genuine interest in understanding human behaviour and the scientific analysis of it. This can lead to a related degree (usually a BSc), or work in many other areas, since the skills obtained are transferable. A psychology degree can lead to work in criminal, forensic, educational, clinical, counselling, sport, environmental or occupational psychology as well as being applicable to other careers, such as media. COURSE DETAILS: In the first year, students will study introductory topics in Psychology, such as Memory, Attachment and Social Influence.They will also be looking at how behaviour is studied and different approaches to explaining behaviour.Further to this, in the second year, students will get theopportunity to study other topics such as Forensic Psychology and the Theories of Relationships.
