Critical thinking is one of the most important skills one can develop, which is why Psychology Basics introduces the study of the human mind and behaviour with a special emphasis on cultivating this ability. And while students learn about a wide scope of psychological concepts, they are always encouraged to ask themselves a simple question: “what does this really mean”? Suddenly, complex ideas become clearer and somewhat more relevant. To additionally support the learning process, the course aims to deepen their levels of processing through varied coursework: students recall new knowledge in quizzes, apply it independently in mini-essays, consolidate it in a collaborative task, and actively evaluate it during virtual discussions. The course therefore lays a great foundation for those planning to enrol in the AP track and/or study psychology at university later. Yet, it needs to be emphasized that it is equally useful for those with different ambitions who simply wish to explore this field out of curiosity.

Humans are fascinating. Why do we think and behave the way we do? What makes us similar in some ways and different in others? And, above all, how do these factors affect how we interact with the world around us?
In Psychology Basics, we will explore all of these questions and much more. Throughout the course, you will get to know some of the brilliant psychologists and their contributions to the field – like S. Freud, A. Bandura, E. Loftus, and I. P. Pavlov. It has been said that “psychology has a long past, but only a short history,” so we will trace the ideas that have shaped psychology as a discipline from the early beginnings to the current state of things. You will discover how humans develop from a psychological perspective across the lifespan, how language and memory work, and, at the end of the year, you will also obtain foundational knowledge of psychological disorders. You may expect a wide range of activities, real-life scenarios and tips for your everyday life: for example, how to recognise cognitive obstacles, cope with stress or learn new information effectively.
Students are strongly recommended to study on average 3 - 4 hours per week.
