What the college says

The course aims to provide a general introduction to psychological theory, research and application. Students will look at the diversity, applications and limitations of psychological knowledge and also learn how to design, carry out and evaluate a range of psychological investigations. Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and experience. Students will need a good command of English, a willingness to carry out wide background reading and at least a good understanding of Mathematics and a Science subject. During the course, students will investigate how Psychologists study people, animals, and processes within us and will evaluate research which has been carried out in different areas of Psychology. This theoretical knowledge will be consolidated with practical experiences as students are required to carry out psychological investigations over the two years, involving experimentation. The inclusion of biopsychology and other key skills on this new syllabus is designed to make the subject a recognised science by universities. As such, students should be prepared for some challenging human biology as part of their studies. As Psychology concerns people; an interest in people as well as an enquiring mind is required.
