- Why do this course?
-
This Psychology 101 Extend session introduces students to the fascinating world of psychology – the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Learners will explore key questions such as: Why do people behave the way they do? How do memory, perception, and emotion shape our everyday lives? The session will include interactive activities and thought experiments designed to spark curiosity, such as testing short-term memory, exploring optical illusions, and considering classic psychological studies. Students will also discuss how psychology applies to real-world contexts like education, mental health, and the workplace. No prior knowledge is needed, making this an accessible and engaging introduction for anyone curious about human behaviour.
By the end of the session, learners will have a taste of the different branches of psychology and an understanding of its relevance to both academic study and everyday life.
