12 Psychology

If you are feeling curious about what psychology actually is and the different ways it can help us understand people’s thoughts and actions,  this introductory course is for you. We will explore the diverse approaches psychologists take in making sense of our minds: the biological, behavioural and cognitive approaches… and beyond! We can then work out their biggest differences in terms of ideas, beliefs and assumptions. We will look at where psychologists get their ideas and their knowledge from, and how to do psychological research ethically and reliably. We will also find out about some of the theories psychologists use in their work across diverse fields - from sports psychology to clinical psychology. From those, you will be able to choose an area that interests you and explore it in more depth.
