Introduction to Psychology

This course tries to answer these questions, and many others, giving us an accessible introduction to the scientific study of mind and behaviour.

You will be introduced to the psychology of personality, memory, learning and social behaviour. We will look at how the major approaches in psychology try to explain these behaviours, and you will find out about the behaviour of others, as well as discovering something about yourself.

This course will introduce you to the subject of Psychology and will support you to progress onto further short courses such as ‘Psychology: What makes us tick?’ and ‘A Child’s World – An Introduction to the Psychology of the Child ‘.
