You will study three strands of Psychology in your first term: Cognitive, Biological and Social. In Social Psychology, you'll learn more about how humans work in groups and how biases and prejudice can develop. In Biological Psychology, you'll explore how we study the brain to learn which areas are responsible for which functions. In Cognitive Psychology, you'll focus on how the brain works, in areas such as memory, language, learning and creativity.
