Take a rigorous, biological approach to psychology, studying it as a natural and experimental science.
Psychology gives us valuable insight into many areas of life – from human behaviour in the classroom or courtroom to animal cognition and natural selection.
You’ll develop a strong grounding in the subject through modules covering cognitive psychology, language acquisition and consciousness and causality. You’ll also integrate biological approaches by studying animal behaviour and cognition, mammals and evolution, and cognitive and affective neuroscience. You can choose to carry out a final-year research project, drawing on support and expertise from across the School.
Our Psychology BSc is accredited by the British Psychological Society – a mark of quality that employers understand and value.
