Your knowledge will be developed in the dynamic, international environment of our Business School where there are over 40 nationalities, small class sizes and where teaching is delivered by leading figures in the fields of business practice and theory, corporate finance and organisational change. Your learning will be supported by dedicated careers advisers.Psychology examines how people think and how people behave, increasing our understanding and explanation of human behaviour and experience and how these change and develop throughout our lives.This choice gives you all the advantages of our long tradition and special strength in psychology, for which the
most recent national assessment of university research placed Aberdeen as the third best in the UK.With internationally known researchers, you will study topics such as how we ‘place’ faces, why older people may misinterpret sarcasm, how children learn empathy and how eye movements may help identify mental illness.
