Course Aims |
Sexuality is an essential part of human behaviour that affects the global functioning of a person including the person’s gender role and identity, self-concept, social relationships, and satisfaction of life. Human sexuality is an introductory course covering a wide range of social scientific perspectives on sexuality and critically examining some of the controversial issues through the study of the most up-to-date research. It also helps counselling and psychology students to discuss the matter in a perspective, comfortable and confident way when they journey into the suffering of their clients.
