This module provides the students with a more in-depth approach to the theories of social psychology.
Each subject in the module is designed to challenge the participants’ critical thinking by inviting them to
apply the basic theories of social psychology to real life social situations discussed in class. Adding on to
earlier lectures of social psychology, social psychology 2 adds more theories and utilises more application
and research.
- 6. Volunteering and Community Service

community settings. In volunteering and community work, the students will have an opportunity to
review and apply all the relevant theories that they have learnt throughout the course.

-
This module provides a deeper understanding of the fusion of neuroscience and the cognitive processes.
In this module, the students will gain further knowledge in neuroscience; identify the different parts and
functions of the nervous system and to apply this knowledge in accounting for cognition and behaviour.
A comparative approach between animal and human cognition will be made to further enhance each
participant’s understanding of the importance and the functions of cognitive neuroscience. The students
will learn how to apply the neuro-cognitive perspective in understanding and explaining clinical
disorders.
- 8. Developmental Psychology 2

The module will take on specific theories to supplement the subjects taken from developmental
psychology. Developmental Psychology 2 moves on from the life-span perspective. Each developmental
aspect will be taken separately and with more depth. This module focuses more on topics that are relevant
