Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain major psychological concepts, theories, and research findings and relate them to different aspects of human behaviour. They will understand how biological, cognitive, developmental, and social factors can interact to influence psychological processes. Students will be able to formulate research questions, select appropriate methods, analyse findings, and interpret psychological evidence using suitable approaches. They will also develop the ability to assess the strengths and limitations of theories and research studies, distinguish between different explanations of behaviour, and reach reasoned conclusions. The course will strengthen students' ability to communicate psychological ideas clearly and apply critical thinking when evaluating evidence about human thought, experience, and behaviour.
