Study Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour – our individual characteristics and abilities, how we act in social situations, how our brain works, and how our experiences and biology interact to produce normal and abnormal behaviour. Psychology has applications to many areas of life, including relationships, work, and health.
Psychology students learn to ask and how to answer important questions about behaviour;
- Where in the brain are memories stored?
- What influences us more - situations or personality?
- Why are some students motivated to work hard while others don't try at all?
- How can a psychologist help autistic children?
