The Psychology - Level 3 Course is designed for people who wish to gain a good understanding of Psychology.
 
Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychologists study such phenomena as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships.
 
Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including issues related to everyday life (e.g. family, education, and employment) and the treatment of mental health problems. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of these functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the underlying physiological and neurological processes.
 
On successful completion of the course you will receive a recognised level 3 award (Comparable to working at A Level or NVQ Level 3).
