Some psychologists devote themselves to practical issues, such as: How should parents deal with their child's temper tantrums? Why do some students do better in exams than others? How can you help someone to overcome a fear of public speaking? Other psychologists focus on more theoretical questions, such as: Can apes learn to use human language? Are serial killers born or made? How are memories stored in the brain?
As a student, you will begin to explore issues such as these, learning to back them up with the rigours of scientific testing. Indeed, the main aim of the undergraduate programme is to encourage the objectivity and detachment needed to study psychology as a science. You will learn to use research methods including observation, measurement, hypothesis testing, experimentation, and logical inference. You will also learn to use statistical analysis and to develop writing and communication skills.
Psychology is taken as a Single Bachelor of Science degree.
In First Year, students take Mathematics and three subjects from Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science,Experimental Physics, and Mathematical Physics. First Year students do not take Psychology, but they participate in a mandatory mentoring system designed to introduce the discipline of Psychology. Students have the option to attend Psychology lectures.
In Second Year, students take Psychology and two of their First Year subjects (except Mathematical Physics). Students taking Computer Science in Second Year must also take Mathematics.
In Third and Fourth Year, students take Psychology only.
At the end of First and Second Year, students who do not wish to proceed with Psychology will have the option of transferring to the B.Sc. Science programme.
