Our BSc Hons Psychology course explores adult and child psychology, the workings of the brain, social influences on relationships, and applications of psychology in the real world.

As well as preparing you to pursue further training for careers in Psychology, our degree helps you attain skills that prospective employers in a range of careers find attractive. Modules reflect the breadth of the discipline, from cognitive psychology and neuroscience to developmental psychology and social psychology.

The degree, which is accredited by the British Psychological Society, includes a project. If you pass this and graduate with at least second-class honours, you will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS. This is a necessary first step for people hoping to undergo further training to become a Chartered Psychologist.

We offer optional pathways in Forensic Psychology, Child Psychology and Sports Psychology, which lead to the awards of BSc Hons Psychology (Forensic Psychology), BSc Hons Psychology (Child Psychology), and BSc Hons Psychology (Sports Psychology) respectively.

Graduates pursue professional psychology careers such as clinical psychology, educational psychology and forensic psychology. Many also go into people-focused careers such as human resources, sales and marketing, teaching and consultancy.
