This course is designed to introduce students to the key principles, ideas, and techniques within the subject of psychology. In the first year, students will be introduced to core topics such as biological, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, as well as the fundamentals of conducting research in psychology. In the second year, alongside learning about subjects related to the different divisions of and careers within psychology, students will explore the topics introduced in the previous year in greater depth. In the third year, students will continue to develop subject-specific knowledge, covering topics such as abnormal psychology and individual differences, and apply their understanding of research methods and data analysis as they complete a piece of empirical research. Overall, the course will provide students with a comprehensive grounding in the subject of psychology and the ability to understand and conduct relevant research. As well as subject-specific knowledge, students will also develop general academic and personal skills such as critical thinking, time management, teamwork and presenting to an audience.
