It provides an alternative route for those unable to meet the traditional entry requirements for a three-year degree.

Over the course of the year, you will build the skills and experience to prepare you for your chosen degree. Psychology is the study of human behaviour. It explores a wide range of fascinating areas from how we think and how we see other people, to how people develop, how relationships are formed, and how we can help people in distress.
