Course summary
Why Cognitive Psychology at UEA?
Cognitive psychology explores how we perceive the world, remember experiences, learn, communicate and make decisions. You’ll develop skills to evaluate evidence and understand how experiments reveal how the mind works.
Why choose UEA?
-
Specialist facilities: Your studies are supported by our BPS‑commended and nationally excellent specialist facilities
-
Research‑informed teaching: You’ll be taught by experts whose outstanding research will shape your learning
-
Early support: Before you arrive, you’ll join a four-week online module to help you feel prepared, connected and confident
What is BSc Cognitive Psychology?
With BSc Cognitive Psychology, you’ll explore how the mind processes information through attention, memory, language and problem-solving. You’ll study how these abilities develop across the lifespan, why they sometimes fail, and how the brain shapes everyday experience.
The course is flexible, so you can switch to another specialised psychology degree or to BSc Psychology before the end of year two. In year one, you may also transfer to our Year Abroad or Placement degrees, subject to availability and academic requirements.
You’ll learn through a mix of lectures and small-group teaching, helping you build academic skills and confidence as an independent thinker. A dedicated academic adviser will support you throughout your studies, and your final-year project supervisor will be a specialist in cognitive psychology.
Beyond the classroom, you can take part in research, internships and volunteering or join student societies such as PsySoc. UEA is an inclusive and vibrant community, offering so much more than academic studies.
