What the college says

What is psychology and why would you choose to study it? Psychology is one of the social sciences and as such it takes a scientific approach to the study of the human mind and behaviour. You should study it because it is a fascinating subject, through which you can find out why people behave the way they do, including yourself. Further, because psychology bridges the gap between science and the arts it can go equally well with other sciences such as Biology or arts subjects such as English. Finally there are a number of careers for which a knowledge of psychology would be useful such as nursing, law, social work, teaching, the police, psychology and psychiatry.
