Course description

Students in their first semester of university study are not permitted to enrol in PSYC1020 and PSYC1030 concurrently. Thereafter, there are no restrictions and students may enrol in PSYC1020 and PSYC1030 in the same semester. Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. This course spans a variety of topics including basic psychological processes such as perception, consciousness, learning, motivation, memory, thinking and sexual behaviour as well as the cognitive or mental causes of these phenomena. Students will be given opportunities to participate in both classic state-of-the-art psychological research and to demonstrate their understanding of the research process.
