Psychology opens your mind to a new level of understanding of the world around you and the people in it. Through the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour, you can learn the answers to questions such as: How do people remember things? Why do we follow the actions of others even if we don’t agree with them? Does playing a violent computer game make you more likely to commit a crime? and many more. Studying this subject will provide an essential foundation for those wishing to go on to Higher Education courses in Science, Humanities and Social Sciences.
