Understanding human behaviour is not only fascinating, but is an expertise that is highly valued in varying contexts – from the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems to the improvement of performance at work or in sport.
Our BSc (Hons) Psychology course will give you the knowledge, skills and competencies that are prized by employers, such as critical thinking and research abilities.
The course offers a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of psychological science, allowing graduates to build their careers on a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited qualification. Teaching is influenced by the 'world-leading' and 'internationally excellent' research of our academic staff within the highly ranked School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, ensuring that your learning reflects real-world issues.
This Psychology degree covers a full range of modules which aim to develop your core psychological knowledge and skills, allowing you to tailor your degree to your interests and aspirations.
It offers two different options of full-time study: a three-year course offering the award of BSc (Psychology); and a four-year course (with a placement year between years 2 and 3) offering the awards of BSc (Psychology) and a Diploma in Professional Studies or the Diploma in International Studies. Transfer between the three and four-year psychology course options is normally possible.
