Mind, Brain and Behaviour

Mind, Brain and Behaviour is an online standalone module that will give you the skills needed to understand the interactions between our minds, brains, environments, and experiences. You will learn how these influence human behaviours by applying the biopsychosocial model to complex questions and behavioural trends.

The module explores individual differences, conceptual and historical issues in psychology, and research methods, as specified in the British Psychological Society’s curriculum.

You will be encouraged to integrate different viewpoints and develop the ability to critically evaluate psychological theory and research findings on the topic. You will also learn how to incorporate ethics, reflexivity, and professionalism as core values in your practice.

This module is your gateway to a full master’s degree and upon successful completion, you will be eligible to progress onto our Mental Health Psychology or Organisational and Business Psychology programmes.
