Our Psychology students recently travelled to London to see, Derren Brown: Only Human, a thought-provoking show exploring psychological illusion, perception, and the power of belief.
One student said:
“I initially approached the show with a great deal of skepticism. However, as it progressed, I found myself increasingly questioning my assumptions. By the final act, I was completely speechless. It was a fascinating demonstration of how easily our perceptions can be challenged.”
Experiences like this provide valuable opportunities for students to see psychological theory brought to life beyond the classroom. #britishboardingschool #earlscliffe #fyp #dukeseducation #ProudlyInternational
