Online taster session: The pursuit of happiness - a psychology taster session

What is the Solent Insight Series?

Welcome to the Solent Insight Series, a virtual webinar series designed for prospective students, although parents, carers, teachers and advisers are welcome along too. This series will guide you through all the key stages of the university application process, from exploring courses and making your UCAS application, to writing a standout personal statement and finding part time work.

Each session is packed with advice and tips to help you navigate the journey to university with confidence. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or ready to submit your application, the Solent Insight Series has you covered!

What does this webinar have in store?

Led by our psychology academics, this interactive workshop offers a glimpse into the science behind what makes us happy. 

Through a series of activities and discussions, you'll explore key psychological theories and learn how factors like biology, thought patterns, and personal achievements shape our wellbeing.

Highlights include:

• Defining happiness and exploring its meaning through real-world example.
• Discovering how genetics, neurotransmitters, and social connections influence happiness.
• Interactive polls and scenarios to apply your knowledge.
• A chance to ask questions about psychology, Solent University and more. 

This is perfect for anyone curious about psychology or looking to study it further.
