As part of the MATSEC syllabus, Psychology is taught at Intermediate level only. 

When you study Psychology you have 2 hours of lectures per week. 

It is your responsibility to take notes during the lectures. Notes can be taken by using a laptop, tablet or you can also handwrite them. Do whatever works out for you. 

The Psychology Intermediate syllabus is presented in 14 subject foci. Each focus has a number of learning outcomes. For example, the first subject focus is an introduction to the subject of Psychology. You will also be learning about the different approaches in Psychology. The syllabus also touches on subject foci such as development, communication, psychological disorders, the different professions in Psychology, themes like stress and gender and research methods. 

Subject foci 1 to 8 and 14 are covered in the first year of your studies. Subject foci 9 to 13 are covered during your second year of studies. 

We recommend that you acquire the book Psychology: An Introduction. Intermediate Level edited by Prof. Mary Anne Lauri. This book is ideal because it further supplements the notes that you take during our lectures. 

You do not need to continue with your studies in Psychology to choose the subject of psychology. Choosing Psychology will help you with any career or work you would like to pursue. 

When you learn Psychology you will gain a deeper understanding of human behaviour, you will learn about development, about how both our biology and experiences shape us. On completion of the two year course, you will acquire a general overview of the subject and knowledge that can help you in whatever future careers and/or experiences you encounter in life.
