Course Description
If you have ever wondered why people do the things they do, then the Psychology Diploma is for you!
Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour and so in this course you will discover how psychologists have come a long way in understanding human behaviour and the mental processes that underlie our actions. The Psychology Diploma is divided into seven modules. In each module you are introduced to the main theories associated with that area of psychology. Modules 2-6 are each separated into a Part A and a Part B to aid understanding.
The Sociology Diploma course is about developing a critical understanding of society, and through this understanding providing a basis for highlighting and explaining social problems such as ill health, poverty and crime. Sociology is the study of human societies. It is usually classed as one of the social sciences (along with subjects like psychology) and was established as a subject in the late 18th century (through the work of people like the French writer Auguste Comte).
