What you'll learn

  • This module is designed with the aim to help you understand the signs, symptoms and possible treatments of adult mental health problems. From depression to anxiety and schizophrenia, to eating disorders, OCD and phobias, you will learn about the most common mental health disorders and how they impact a person’s life. Mental health professionals work with their patients and mental health sufferers, to help themselves. Throughout this module, you will learn practical techniques and strategies which can help people suffering from a mental health disorder control and alleviate severe symptoms
  • Learn about stereotypes, group behaviour, prejudice, attraction, attitudes and attitudinal change, interaction and much more in this module about social psychology. The module is designed with the aim to help you understand human behaviour and how society affects the individual and the group. You will also learn the psychology behind how we interact with each other, or act as a group rather than an individual. By understanding the “natural” social needs of a person, the aim is to help you develop an increased sensitivity to other people, and better identify and assist people with attending to deficiencies in their social interactions
  • Throughout this module, you will be introduced to a range of common psychological disorders, from their aetiology, symptoms, prognosis, to possible treatment options. Whilst the module largely mirrors classifications systems used in the DSM and ICD, the student is also encouraged to consider additional issues, such as the definition of normality and abnormality, and when is an individual’s behaviour within the bounds of what is regarded as “normal” in society – and when is it “abnormal”. The module aims to help you better understand common mental health issues so you can recognise and accommodate the behaviours of the people you work with and interact with, so you can relate and communicate with them in a more understanding and positively beneficial manner
  • This module is designed to help you understand how different types of drugs (manmade and natural) can influence our behaviour. From substance abuse, dependency, and withdrawal effects on the nervous system, to the impacts of drugs on society, this introductory module provides a solid foundation to psychopharmacology. You will learn how our thinking can be affected by both legal and illegal drugs, the effects of pain killers, alcohol and prescription drugs, and discover the differences between the main groups of illicit drugs and how to identify drug abuse and dependence
