Course summary
Course Overview
The Foundation Year will allow you to develop your academic study skills and build confidence in your abilities, identifying your own strengths and development needs for progression onto an undergraduate degree.
Do the inner workings of the human mind intrigue you? Do you want to see what the brain, the most complicated engine in the universe, is capable of? Through psychology, you’ll understand the depths of the human psyche. You’ll find yourself involved in contemporary research in the social, developmental, cognitive, individual differences and biological dimensions of behaviour.
Become an expert in all areas of Psychology
You'll study the applications of psychology in a wide range of areas, including specific social problems in relation to crime, the workplace and mental health. Working through theories posed by Freud and Jung to your own original research, you’ll have a strong grasp of what makes the mind tick.
