What the college says

Psychology is concerned with all aspects of behaviour and with the thoughts, feelings and motivations underlying that behaviour. Psychology is a science and psychologists study human behaviour by observing, measuring and testing, then arriving at conclusions that are rooted in sound scientific methodology. The course looks at important aspects of human life; relationships, stress, memory, aggression, obedience and disorders such as depression, schizophrenia or anorexia. It is naturally suited to those who have an interest in people and who want to understand more about the causes of behaviour. Given the competing explanations of why people 'do what they do' the best students are those with an open mind and a willingness to read around the key issues discussed.
