Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. The discipline examines the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that trigger certain functions and behaviours. The immediate goal in psychology is to understand humanity by both discovering general principles and exploring specific cases. Many practitioners of applied psychology believe that one of the objectives of the field is to benefit society. Psychologists investigate such concepts as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior and interpersonal relationships.
While psychological knowledge is typically applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also applied to understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity. Following a degree in psychology, you can choose to be involved in some kind of therapeutic role (clinical, counseling, and school positions). Alternatively, you can do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and social behavior (typically in university psychology departments) and/or teach such knowledge in academic settings. Also, working in industrial and organizational settings in relevant roles (e.g., human resources or training and employee development) is an option for those with a degree in the field.

This course provides students the opportunity to study the transformations of the social world from a sociological perspective linking it with the theoretical and empirical debates regarding issues inherent within Criminology.
The age-old questions of why we are the way were are, and why we do what we do, have continued to fascinate humans through the ages. Psychology seeks answers for those questions, and others, through the scientific study of the relationship between emotions, thoughts, behavior and the environment.
Criminology is concerned with the nature, patterns and explanations of criminal behaviour. Students examine the changing patterns of criminal behaviour, study a range of explanations, and understand the repercussions for the individual and society.
