You will learn about the human brain, human development, memory, mental health, and relationships. The course gives you both theory and practical skills.

As you progress further, you will take part in lab work, group projects, and real-life case studies, which help you learn how to study behaviour and support people with emotional and mental needs. This course is ideal for students who want to work in psychology, mental health, education, or social care. You’ll build a solid understanding of how to work with people in many settings.

This course covers topics like Cognitive psychology, biological psychology, developmental psychology, mental health and well-being.
