Psychology with French, MA (Hons)

Psychology explores the understanding and explanation of human behaviour and experiences, examining how these evolve over a lifetime. It investigates factors influencing behaviour, from biological foundations to social dynamics, including perception, cognition, memory, communication, and individual differences in personality and abilities. As an experimental science, psychology relies on research evidence to develop and test theories, emphasizing observation, measurement, and experimentation over mere intuition. It extends beyond mental health studies and does not involve mind-reading; instead, it appeals to those who enjoy critical analysis and scientific inquiry.The programme, offered by a reputable department, integrates research in psychology and French, with opportunities for study in Francophone regions.
