Path to a free self-taught education in Psychology!
Hello and welcome to the Open Knowledge University's Psychology Course! This repository is a labor of love born from the pursuit of knowledge and a passion for making quality education accessible to all. If you're here, you likely share the curiosity and enthusiasm for psychology that led me to embark on this journey.
During my time in college, studying for an honors degree in accounts, I discovered a deep interest in psychology. Unfortunately, time constraints prevented me from pursuing formal studies in psychology at another university. Undeterred, I scoured the internet for high-quality psychology resources that were freely available. Lucky for me, I found some excellent materials that ignited my learning journey.
This repository is more than just a collection of resources; it's an initiative to empower individuals with a genuine interest in psychology. I am in the process of compiling resources that cover the entire three-year BSc degree curriculum. While I haven't gathered everything yet, I invite you to join me on this educational adventure.
