Psychology

Why study at RSU 

Understanding who we are, as well as how we think, feel and act.

Psychology looks at why we behave the way we do, why we experience the things we do, and why those experiences shape our behaviour. Psychology helps you understand human behaviour and how the mind works.

Psychology degrees can lead you in a number of directions. Use your skills to understand how organisations and individuals work, or to improve the wellbeing of individuals, families and organisations.
