**Psychology has been a key area of study at Hull since 1928. This accredited degree will provide you with a firm foundation in the core areas of psychological science – while giving you the option to study the topics that interest you in greater depth.**
Our state-of-the-art facilities include an electroencephalography (EEG) machine for measuring activity in the brain and a well-equipped brain stimulation laboratory.
The unique link between our BSc Psychology and our doctorate in Clinical Psychology offers you a fast track to qualification while having your doctorate fees paid – and receiving a salary from the NHS.
The foundation year is ideal if you do not have the academic qualifications for direct entry on to the programme. You'll study a range of modules designed to prepare you for degree-level study.
