The Short Course in Psychology introduces learners to the scientific study of behaviour. Students would learn important concepts in psychology and how to apply these concepts to their everyday lives. They would be introduced to the many applications of psychology in the real world, for example, sports, media, technology, the workplace and the school. They would also investigate current and relevant research-based topics in psychology.

Enterprise demonstrates the ability to creatively generate and build ideas, to identify opportunities for innovation and to turn them into practical and targeted actions.
