Student view
I started studying psychology this year and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I relish each lesson where I can learn how different people would react in certain scenarios with different variances or triggers as well interpreting their actions and applying them to various arguments. The classes provide an environment where I can improve my analytical skills by evaluating findings in written work and conversations which I can take into the outside world when I leave school.
