Psychology students are constantly striving to understand all aspects of human behaviour. The field of psychology is very important in medicine, health research and behavioural studies because of its significance in human development and society. Knowledge of the underlying processes behind human behaviour and cognition can lead to discoveries in more complex psychological conditions such as depression, epilepsy, brain damage and Alzheimer's disease.
