The Psychology Masterclass at Nottingham Trent University
On arrival at Nottingham Trent, we were greeted by friendly
student ambassadors who led us into the lecture theatre. Our
first lecture was by Phil Banyard, a psychology lecturer at the
university. He spoke about big questions in psychology, for
example ‘who am I?’ His teaching style was very interactive and
enjoyable, which involved activities that really got our attention.
After a short tour of the university campus, we had another
lecture by a world-expert on gambling addiction, Mark Griffiths.
He stated that anything can become an addiction if it has a
negative impact in your life and occurs frequently. For example,
it is possible to get addicted to gambling if it is something that
you participate in everyday such as going to a casino, rather
than taking part in the National Lottery which only occurs once
or twice a week. The lecture he provided was very intriguing and
informative, and it gave us an insight of what it would be like to
study psychology at university. This presentation was extremely
useful to us as psychology students too as it provided us with
information and knowledge that is required for our A2 course
next year. We definitely recommend this experience to others.
