Diploma in Psychology - Revised 2017
Description
If you learn about psychology, you can unlock incredible and important pieces of information about how everyone’s mind works, including your own. Through psychology we can learn about human behaviour, why we make good or bad choices, how we can improve our mental health, and also just gain some really interesting knowledge about our inner lives.
The course first introduces you to the concept of classical conditioning, learning theory, and the biological basis of behavior. You will then learn about visual perceptions and memory, before then getting an overview of cognition (the very foundation of our everyday thoughts). Finally, the research methodology section guides you through the psychological research process, explores the nature of psychology as an evolving science, and helps you understand some of the ethical issues faced by psychologists.
This free course will give you a solid start for your journey into the study of psychology. Whether are considering psychology careers (an in-demand and important profession) or just want to learn a little more about how our minds work, this course can be your first step. From there, you can take your journey wherever you want it to go. So why wait? Some really cool and important knowledge is just 10 hours away.
