Course Description

This Psychology course includes the online version of the course only. 

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.

In this Psychology Diploma, you will discover:

• How scientists have studied the mind, brain and behaviour
• How our understanding of the world develops as we grow up
• How much we are influenced by other people
• How our thoughts and actions are related to brain activity
• How memory works, why we forget, and how to improve your memory
• How psychologists explain personality and intelligence
• How psychology can be applied in the real world

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.

Key features of the Psychology Diploma include:

• ‘Setting the scene’ boxes: These describe relevant, and sometimes surprising, case studies that illustrate points that are made in the main text.
• ‘From the archives’ boxes: These make reference to key research studies published in academic journals.  These bring you into contact with the methods and procedures used by psychologists to test and develop their theories.
• ‘Have a go’ boxes: These encourage active learning, in which you are more involved and engaged in the learning process.
• Targeted suggestions for further reading.

The Psychology Diploma has been written especially for NCC Learning by Dr Matthew Smith and Elizabeth Ottley. Matthew Smith is a former Associate Professor of Psychology at Liverpool Hope University with nearly 20 years’ experience of teaching and research in Psychology. His work in the media even included a stint as the resident psychologist/parapsychologist on the television show Most Haunted.
