Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It is about understanding how people think, act, react and interact; and how this understanding can help us, as psychologists, help people on an individual basis but also help address wider societal issues through academic endeavours and professional practice. <br/><br/><strong>Why study this course at the University of Glasgow?</strong> <br/><br/>You will study the principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, but you will also have the opportunity to apply economic concepts and models specifically to the decisions facing businesses. <br/><br/>You will also be encouraged to explore your fields of interest, such as government policy, developing countries and international trade.
