Cyberpsychology examines the online world and its impact on human behaviour. It is an essential area of expertise for anyone who wishes to make the most of online technologies. Cyberpsychology also considers the impact of new technologies on users, from the latest mobile devices and gaming systems to high-end virtual reality equipment. The course is suitable for teenagers and adults to learn about behaviours during the online session. The course will cover topics such as online aggression, cyberbullying, cybercrime, online dating, online communications, online marketing, psychological applications of virtual environments, psychology of artificial intelligence, etc.
This course will be of particular interest to students who wish to develop psychological insights into human interactions with the Internet and digital technologies and to learn to apply this knowledge in a wide variety of sectors. For example, in understanding what makes apps/webpages more user-friendly and accessible, and evaluating the psychological factors pertaining to online criminal behaviour.
The course is open to Psychology graduates as well as graduates from other cognate science disciplines (e.g. media studies, computer science), providing the foundations required to pursue a career in the developing field of cyberpsychology.
The course will also be of value to anyone wishing to extend and develop their skill set in their current job and will be relevant to anyone who works within an organisation with an online presence or where understanding human interaction with different emerging technologies would be beneficial.
