What the college says

Make a difference to your life and others; explore ?Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour?. Is there a ?banality of evil?? Are you a ?Little Oedipus?? How can we explain and treat depression, schizophrenia, phobias and OCD? How can we use research to treat offenders in the modern world? Understanding why people are the way they are and why they act as they do is a fascinating area of study. An insight is gained into the workings of the mind, such as how the memory works. During this course students learn about key psychologists, research and theories and develop an understanding of the principles and perspectives governing Psychology. The work of notable psychologists such as Sigmund Freud and Ivan Pavlov will be evaluated and their theories will be compared and contrasted.
