Psychology is “the study of the mind and behaviour" and the aim of the course is to familiarise students with a wide range of theories and research investigating human behaviour. The course begins with a short overview of how psychology developed as an academic discipline and an introduction to a number of the principal methodologies most commonly deployed in its study. The subsequent units are arranged around broad areas of research, including emotion, development, and memory. The objective is to explore how psychology has contributed to an understanding of individual, social and cultural diversity.
