Level 2 Understanding Me through Psychology
Course Description
Big Question: What shapes our personality and who we become?
Are you keen to learn more about psychology and understand why people are the way they are? Interested in learning more about human behaviour, psychological conditions and approaches, and how these impact teenagers?
In this new course, we will examine behaviour, conditions, and psychological approaches through historical case studies and experiments. We will explore the human condition and start to understand we are the way we are. The course will also look specifically at challenges teenagers face, why they may face them, and how they can work through them.
A love or reading and writing is needed as there are academic articles to read in order to examine how theory is used in fields of psychological practice and to examine ethical issues in psychological practice.
