What’s in your head? Find out on UEL’s Psychology Short Course

Monday 30 January 2006

Ever wondered what’s going on in your brain? A unique new short course in Psychology at the University of East London (UEL) offers amazing insights into the intricate workings of the human mind.

The four-week course will introduce students to key aspects of psychology, including personality, intelligence, social psychology and neurology.

Course co-ordinator Max O’Neill said: “Our Psychology short course offers students the opportunity to look at some of the subject’s most fascinating questions, such as ‘is the brain really just a large computer’, ‘why do some people take an immediate dislike to others’, and ‘how can a man mistake his hat for his wife?’

“No previous knowledge or experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and have fun. It’s a great way for people to get a taste of Psychology and perhaps decide whether they’d like to go on to a degree in the subject.”

UEL's School of Psychology offers London’s largest BSc (Hons) Psychology degree programme and is one of the UK’s leading centres for postgraduate professional psychology training. The School is also highly rated for research, according to the latest national assessment.

The Psychology short course will begin at UEL’s Stratford Campus on February 6 and will run for four weeks. Sessions will take place every Tuesday evening from 6 – 9pm.

Psychology is just one of a range of exciting short courses run at the University of East London. Other options include Creative Writing, Photography, Women and Leadership, Conflict Management, and Introduction to Law and Criminology.
