The human mind is a powerful tool which no computer can exceed its brilliance,

depth and diversity. It is this brilliance which has built and shaped the very world

in which we live in and the way every individual lives their existence. Psychology

the science of behaviour, unlocks the secrets of the human brain; from

understanding our development to discovering how and why mental illnesses

occur. Psychologists learn how to predict, understand, explain and control

behaviour. Personally, I am intrigued in the areas of mental health and cognitive

neuropsychology. I am not only interested in the social aspects, but also highly

interested in the biological side of psychology. I believe that both nature and

nurture are both important in the occurrence of many mental illnesses such as

depression and schizophrenia as well as behaviour. This is not important ... Talk

about what college and course you did with psychology as the main factor of

explanation .

!or the last " years I have worked at Tesco Pharmacy as a #ispensing $ssistant

alongside my education.This has fuelled my curiosity in not only the roles andmechanisms of pharmaceutical drugs in treating mental illnesses such as

!luoxetine, %italopram and &isperidone but also progressive neurological

diseases such as $lzheimer's and Parkinson's, this is brilliant this can come

after you talked about what you have learnt from psychology or instead of this

talk about areas in psychology which interest you .

Talk about your work at Tesco and how you deal with with customers and solving

(resolving issues

reading thier actions and comming out with solutions to tackle them . obviously

communication ,interpersonal skills and observant is a main factor here .

you can also use our relationship as an example of studying behaviour.

In your paragraph next talk about your leisure time , why you do it ,how often

you do it . what is for . )e honest

Talk about why you want to do physcology in the university and why its

important for you to do it the university level

I went to the *niversity of +ast $nglia to do a cience !oundation year. $fter

thoroughly en-oying the experience , it has affirmed the fact that university is

where I want to be. nowing what to expect when I return to university, I am

under no illusions as to the amount of work and dedication I need to put into my

studies to reach my goal of earning a first class degree and avoiding common

student pitfalls. I have taken the past year out of university to carefully choose

which degree I would like to embark on; taking into consideration -ob prospects

and my own interests and strengths. &eading psychology is the right path for

me. To me, my psychology $ /evel has only touched the surface in what I yearn

to learn in the area. !urthermore, I look forward to gaining desirable skills for

the -ob market such as interpreting data and statistics which will compliment my

ability of being able to use several research methods.$fter finishing my

undergraduate degree, I intend on doing a %linical Psychology 0asters.)ecoming a clinical psychologist will not only engage my interest in psychology

and medicine but also my passion of working closely with the public. %urrently, I

am in contact with clinical psychologists around )ristol to see firsthand what this

career entails.This is foolishness i dont need to know all this , no one wants to

know what you want to do after , they want to know what you are doing now and

why it fits in with phycolgy .

sTwo years ago I spent time volunteering on a hospital ward, mainly caring for

the elderly which was much more challenging than anticipated.0y role was not

only serving tea, but also keeping the patients company as many of them had no

visitors and were lonely. $ few suffered from dementure and other conditions

which made them disorientated and confused. 1urses had no time to care for the

emotional side of their often long stay, which is why my role was greatly

appreciated t2is should come after Tesco experience and please be simple
