Psychology - Online Course

Standalone or Part of 5N0754 Psychology Major Award

Our exciting and insightful psychology module will equip learners with a broad understanding of psychology; starting in the roots of the subject, learners can expect to learn about many of the academics who changed how we understand how our brains and minds work. Leaning on the research of Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Pavlov and others, learners will garner an insight into human behaviour and understand "why we do some of the things we do". They can also expect to learn about some of the experiments behind the theories and ultimately, that as individual as we all are, we share a vast number of common traits when it comes to how we behave.
