This engaging British Psychology Society (BPS) accredited Psychology (Mental Health) degree is focused on the theories and treatment of psychopathologies including trauma, psychosis and addictive behaviours. Our students benefit from over 90 academic experts and weekly research seminars, and have access to first-class laboratory suites.

The course covers all the core areas of Psychology stipulated by the BPS curriculum. This includes the workings of the brain; the processes and mechanisms of human thinking, feeling and behaviour; and how psychologists, psychological research and therapy can make a tangible and positive difference to people’s lives and society. You'll also consider how all of these impact and relate to mental health.

Our BSc (Hons) Psychology (Mental Health) course is designed so that you can develop all the knowledge and skills that you'll need for your future career.

The degree caters for both students who wish to become professional psychologists and those who wish to pursue other careers. Throughout the course you will receive training on a range of skills that will appeal to employers, such as training in research methods, numeracy training in statistics, as well as gain experience developing and critically analysing ideas and arguments in written form or oral presentations. During the first two years we will also encourage you to reflect on your skills and potential career paths to enable you to shape your university experience and development appropriately.
