Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour. Psychologists observe and conduct experiments to find out more about the way people act and interact. They try to understand what motivates, challenges or changes us and use this understanding to help us tackle personal and social problems. 

Psychology is useful for any job that requires lots of interaction or an understanding of human behaviour and development.  People with skills in psychology are sought after in business, management, education, research, social care, sport and careers in medicine and healthcare.
