Psychology is the science that studies behavior and mental processes.
Studying psychology gives you knowledge of behavior and mental processes. It also provides an understanding of how this knowledge is scientifically acquired and applied.
As a student studying psychology, you’ll learn about basic psychological processes—learning, memory, motivation, emotions, perception, thinking—in both humans and animals. You’ll also gain knowledge in the biological basis of behavior, and the interpersonal and social context in which it occurs.
