The course teaches students about a range of historical and current psychological approaches. 

Learners are given an opportunity to explore classic and contemporary pieces of psychological research as well as a series of debates arising from psychological concepts.

They will develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of psychology and how they relate to each other, develop and demonstrate skills, knowledge and understanding of scientific methods in psychology, and develop competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem-solving skills.

Consideration of the ethical issues and implications of psychological endeavours are emphasised in all aspects of the course.
