Psychology is the scientific study of the most complex machine imaginable: the human mind. This fascinating psychology degree gives you a deep insight into the actions, interactions, thoughts and feelings that trigger our behaviour. Our academic experts will give you a real-world understanding of how psychology impacts everyday life, so you will learn: How we understand, think and learn about the world around us. How everyone uses verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. How biological and social factors influence behaviour. How mental abilities change as we age. Psychology is both an experimental and observational science. This means you will observe and measure human behaviour, tackle literature research, and develop, test, and evaluate theories. This culminates in conducting your own supervised research project in your final year, which is one of the corner stones of your degree. Our leading academic experts aim to help you develop a wide breadth of expertise. This means you’ll use many different types of techniques that demonstrate the links between brain and behaviour as part of the psychology core curriculum. You can switch to another Psychology pathway if you develop an interest in a particular topic later on. See 'How the course works' below for full details. This degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and its core areas follow the curriculum set out by the BPS. This accreditation is essential for students who want to become a Chartered Psychologist and means that successful graduates are eligible to apply for further professional psychology training.
