How to enrol

Psychology aims to produce a scientific understanding of the relationships between the brain, mind, and human behaviour, and how these are influenced by experience, social contexts, and biological factors.

This introductory module is likely to appeal to you if you have an interest in psychological theories and research explaining notions such as personality, selfhood, emotion, motivation, social influence, well-being, and mental health.

You will learn about the applications of psychology to real life issues as well as benefit from opportunities for self-reflection. You will also develop a greater awareness of ethical considerations in human research.
