What are the mental processes and motivations behind our actions? Psychology helps us understand more about ourselves and how we interact with others. You can expect to engage in class debates, to conduct independent research and address interesting questions, for example: Is behaviour shaped by our environment, or is it a product of our biology? You will research psychological phenomena such as memory, obedience, relationships and gain an understanding of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. You will apply your knowledge to areas of psychology such as clinical and criminal psychology. All students will develop a thorough understanding of research methodology to investigate complex human behaviour.
