Overview

Throughout the Psychology (Conversion) programme at Regent's University London you’ll examine how and when different approaches should be used and gain a scientific understanding of the human brain and central nervous system – learning how they react to techniques, behaviours, experiences and environments. You’ll also explore human development (identity, emotion social skills) and cognition (perception, attention, memory) before applying this knowledge to your own studies, discussions and debates – for example, whether it’s ethical to predict, and therefore potentially alter, human behaviour.
