Course summary

Students of psychology are generally interested in people, how they think, act, react and interact and the thoughts, feelings and motivations underlying their behaviour. It could lead you toward many careers, including teaching, research, counselling, HR and social work

In the first year, you will study social, developmental and behavioural psychology, and cognitive and biological psychology. You will begin to develop your research skills as you learn how to apply psychology, particularly looking at psychology and crime.

In the final year you will dig deeper into the subject, considering how individuals differ, what influences the social development of children, the psychology of health and illness, psychopathology and understanding techniques in counselling.

Alongside the academic learning you will acquire broader graduate skills including reflective writing, and you’ll also take on a work placement.
