Introduction to Psychology This module introduces psychology as
an empirical, behavioural science. The aim is to provide
students with a broad overview of the different fields in
psychology. The emphasis of the course is two-fold: first, so
that students appreciate the diversity and richness of the
psychology discipline; second, to acquaint students with the
important principles, theories, concepts and findings in
psychology. Topics covered include the biological bases of
behaviours, developmental psychology, social psychology,
