心理学是对思想，大脑和行为的科学研究。它与生物学，物理学，医学，神经科学，政治，社会学和经济学等其他学科紧密相连。心理学家使用观察和实验证据来理解我们的感觉和行为之间的关系，以及理解我们行为基础的干预过程。社会心理学研究互动，群体行为和文化。认知神经科学检查单个大脑的机制，一直到其细胞及其之间的连接。在约克大学，我们将心理学作为一门严格的实验生物学进行授课。我们致力于将这些知识应用到社会各阶层。大多数组织都对解释，理解，预测或改变人类行为感兴趣。可选的安置年份。
Psychology is the scientific study of mind, brain and behaviour. Here at York, we teach psychology as a rigorous experimental biological science. We are committed to the application of this knowledge to the benefit of all sectors of society. Many organisations are interested in explaining, understanding, predicting or changing human behaviour.<br><br>Psychologists use observation and experimental evidence to understand the relationship between our sensations and actions but also the intervening processes that underlie our behaviour. Social psychology studies interactions, group behaviour and culture. Cognitive neuroscience examines the mechanisms of the individual brain, right down to its cells and the connections between them.<br><br>We are a research-intensive department which means you will be taught by researchers of international repute who are doing world-leading research as well as delivering lectures and supervising undergraduate projects.<br><br>Some of our students go on to work in fields such as health (clinical psychology), education (educational psychology) and criminal justice (forensic psychology) but most use the unique combination of scientific and statistical skills, critical thinking and analysis of human behaviour in other sectors such as marketing, human resources, management and the civil service. A high proportion of our graduates go on to further study.
