The single and combined honours Psychology courses at Keele are accredited by the British Psychological Society. Please note that there was unfortunately an error in the printed version of the UG Prospectus 2022 that stated Psychology needed to be chosen as a specialism in the final year for accreditation to be received - this is not the case, anyone studying a CH Psychology course at Keele will receive BPS accreditation.
