Course overview
The study of psychology, which offers an evidence-based approach to understanding why humans feel, think and act the way they do, as well as how and why change occurs through the early years has strong links with the study of Education, which examines changing ideas about childhood, learning, schooling and education, and factors such as poverty, social policies and digital technologies which impact on these. This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
