Psychology explores how behaviour can be explained, the most appropriate methods for investigating behaviour and implications of findings for the real world. The intent for the Psychology curriculum is to equip students with the necessary scientific knowledge, skills and vocabulary to develop a better understanding of themselves and the wider world. The Psychology curriculum will enable students to value the importance of psychological research, will promote a curiosity of the human mind and body and make students aware of the implications this has on Human Behaviour in our society.
