On completing this degree, you’ll come away with the understanding, theory, and expertise needed to enter the changing business environment and to innovate and solve problems simultaneously across disciplines and borders. You’ll be equipped with a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and how they interact with the complex environments in which they exist. You’ll also gain skills and tools for exploring experiences and behaviour, culminating in an ability to conduct psychological and business research independently.

By engaging in a distinctive programme of psychology and business education, you’ll be able to unleash your creativity and demonstrate enterprising behaviour through skills-based professional and personal development, which ultimately prepares you to be adaptable and opportunity ready. We’ll help you to develop the knowledge and skills that enable progression to a range of employment or postgraduate study in related applied psychological and business contexts.

Work placements, industry links and internships

We encourage you to undertake placement opportunities where possible, especially in your second year. We hope to offer a work placement module during the second year that students can opt into in addition to, or separately from, the elective Professional Placement Year.

Our students may also make use of part-funded Santander internship and placement opportunities.

BSc Business Psychology graduates are well placed to move straight into employment within a variety of organizations, but will also have the numeracy, scientific, and people skills gained on our degree to undertake postgraduate education at the Master's and PhD levels.
