Specialise in Psychology for your Bachelor of Science at Massey
Psychology is a growing and ever-changing subject which helps us make sense of the human impact on the world in which we live.
You'll learn how people perceive, learn, think, develop, behave, and relate to one another. Courses will teach you how the structure of the brain affects our behaviour, what makes people different from one another and how being in groups affects people's behaviour. Finally, you'll learn how factors like culture, gender, poverty, and mental illness affect our health, our thinking, and our behaviour.
