Course Description
Diploma in Psychology
IBAT College, Dublin
Studying psychology is of interest to everyone, both in terms of getting to know ourselves, the world around us, and the people in it. Learning about how we think and how this influences aspects of our behaviour helps enormously in daily life. Having a depth of psychology knowledge to draw on helps in understanding our interactions with others, our cognitive performances, our ability to cope under pressure and have a new-found understanding for humanity. It can help improve our mental health, our employment, and relationships.
This Diploma in Psychology emphasises psychology as the scientific study of the mind and behaviour, specifically how the mind works and how it influences behaviour. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and the Diploma includes many component fields of study such as cognitive psychology, developmental (child to adult) psychology, social psychology. Engaging with the Diploma will help you to better understand yourself and better appreciate differences with others. We all apply psychology in our everyday lives, and it helps to know why we and others might behave in certain ways and exhibit certain patterns to that behaviour.
On successful completion of this Diploma you will be able to:
1. Describe the key concepts and theoretical perspectives of the main areas within the field of psychology.
2. Evaluate the internal processes associated with cognitive psychology
3. Demonstrate insight into how psychology evolves over the lifetime of a person
