Unlock the mystery of people’s behaviour and actions
Our EDI Diploma in Psychology is designed to develop an understanding of how human actions can be explained on a number of different levels and show how the concerns of psychologists mix and overlap with other sciences.
The course is split into eight modules that gradually introduce you to the different aspects of psychology including research techniques, theories of emotion, factors affecting perception and the development of social behaviour.
In addition to a level 3 qualification, you will also gain numerous transferable skills - such as communication, numeracy, critical thinking and independent learning - which are highly valued by employers.
Overall I found it enriching and informative to study the Psychology Diploma with Home Learning College. The instructions were clear and my tutor always responded quickly to my queries. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good overview and introduction to psychology."
