Why Psychology?
Psychology is one of the most fascinating sciences of the twenty-first century. The human mind was once the preserve of philosophy; now psychology helps unfathom the mind's mysteries. Psychology has a multitude of real-world applications.
It was highly ranked for student satisfaction and I saw that it had a good Psychology department.

Psychology is interesting...
What makes us think, feel, behave? How do we learn? Following brain damage how well can a person perform? Is a baby a ‘blank slate’ upon which life experience writes?
Psychology is challenging...
Can autism be treated? Does studying the brain function of stroke or Alzheimer’s disease patients provide us with answers that can be of use to healthy individuals? Can children be taught to eat - and ENJOY - fruit and vegetables?
Psychology is dynamic..
Science is never static - in neuropsychology, advances in brain imaging techniques allow us to view the brain as never before seeing exactly which part of the brain responds to particular stimuli and how.
Psychology is useful...
Imagine if we knew enough about the way humans work to be able to intervene and reduce problems such as mental illness, drug addiction, child abuse, disruptive behaviour, unhealthy lifestyles, depression in patients or carers…
