Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind—how we process information and what drives our behaviour. Gain insights into why people think, act and feel the way they do. Examine social behaviour, emotion, personality and motivation, and consider what leads to healthy development and what causes dysfunction. Find out how we become the people we are—looking at the role of culture, experiences and thinking processes.
