What to Expect in a Psychology Programme

In Immerse Education’s Psychology summer schools, high school students delve into the study of the human mind and behavior. The ‘Academic Insights’ Pathway focuses on rigorous research methods, theoretical exploration, and the examination of psychological principles. Students investigate various psychological theories and engage in empirical research to understand cognitive and behavioral processes. Through critical analysis and practical experiments, they develop a thorough understanding of psychological phenomena. This pathway equips students with the analytical skills and insights necessary to excel in the field of psychology, fostering a deeper understanding of human behavior.

With Immerse, participants can choose to study Psychology remotely as part of a group in an academic psychology online summer school. ‘Online Insights’ will arm remote learners with the same foundational knowledge, case studies, experiments and research papers as the residential Academic Insights programme.

Alternatively, participants can complete an Online Research Programme, during which they’ll delve into a personally chosen research area with the help of a qualified psychologist, ultimately producing a university-level academic paper.

Psychology Summer School FAQs

What is an Psychology programme and why is it important to study?

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. Its major sub-fields include cognitive processes, human development, and counselling.

There are 4 official goals why scientists study Psychology: to describe, explain, predict, and change. First, it’s vital to describe actions to discover general laws of human behaviour. In doing so, one can explain why human beings exhibit such behaviour.

A degree in psychology opens the door to a variety of career paths, including roles directly related to the degree like clinical, counselling, educational, forensic, health, occupational, and sport and exercise psychologists. Psychology graduates can pursue careers where their degree would be beneficial, such as advice worker, careers adviser, human resources officer, market researcher, and psychotherapist.
