Uncover the hidden influences behind everyday behaviour
Why do we make the choices we do? How do children learn and develop? What makes us trust one brand over another, spend more than we planned, or follow the crowd?
Psychology helps us answer these questions by exploring how people think, feel and behave. It offers valuable insights into everyday life, helping us better understand ourselves, the people around us and the influences that shape our decisions.
This autumn, we are offering a series of psychology courses that can be taken individually or explored together as a fascinating journey into human behaviour.
Start with Introduction to Psychology, a friendly taster that introduces the key ideas and theories psychologists use to understand behaviour, motivation, emotions and decision-making.
You can then discover how psychology helps explain children’s development in Psychology in the Classroom: How Children Learn. Ideal for parents, carers and aspiring teaching assistants, this practical course explores attention, memory, motivation and self-regulation, helping you understand the science behind successful learning.
Finally, Psychology of Shopping, Money and Consumer Behaviour reveals the hidden forces behind consumer choices. From emotional advertising and brand loyalty to habits, social influence and impulse buying, you’ll uncover why we buy what we buy and how businesses use psychology to influence our decisions.
Whether you’re curious about the human mind, interested in supporting children’s learning, or keen to become a more informed consumer, these courses offer an engaging introduction to psychology and its relevance in everyday life.
Join one course or experience all three to discover how psychology shapes the way we learn, think, choose and behave every day.
