Psychology

Introduction:
This course achieved 87% student satisfaction in the most recent National Student Survey Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. During this course you’ll investigate how and why humans (and other animals) behave in the ways they do, and learn about the mental processes driving these behaviours. As you’ll discover, Psychology is a very broad subject, covering such diverse areas as brain function, perceiving the world and even the social interactions in a football crowd. With its focus on behaviour and mind, Psychology links naturally with other disciplines such as Biology, Philosophy and Sociology. It also integrates with subjects valued in the workplace, such as Business Studies, Marketing and Human Resource Management. Psychology at Stirling is internationally renowned for research, and this feeds into teaching. In our taught modules, you learn of the importance of research in furthering the understanding of behaviour and, in practical work, develop research skills of your own. This subject may be studied in combination with a number of other subjects - learn more.
