BSC (Hons) Psychology

About this course

We’ll teach you the core areas of psychology, which include developmental, cognitive, social, biopsychology and individual differences. You’ll have the opportunity to put this theory into practice through work-based experience as well as assessments which help you to develop valuable real-world skills

You will consider contemporary aspects of psychology, including its place in society and its application to ‘real-world’ issues such as environmental psychology.

In your final year you can choose your specialism from a range of applied areas, including topics such as health and mental health, counselling psychology, forensic psychology and neuroscience.

We create a supportive and lively learning environment in which you’ll learn through teamwork and collaboration. We’ll support you in developing your research skills from day one until your final year, when you’ll work with your supervisor to design and carry out your own psychological research project.

You’ll also have the chance to expand your knowledge and experience by going on an international study trip. Previous students have been to Berlin, Germany, where they visited the Jewish Museum, the Stasi Museum, the Holocaust Memorial and Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
