Psychology is a fascinating social science that gives you insight into individuals and their unique behaviour. It involves learning about memory, language, creativity, personality, social interaction and brain processes.

This course gives you a thorough understanding of both the theory and application of psychology and prepares you both for a professional career in psychology or any number of career opportunities. The applied focus of the course provides you with the opportunity to specialise in the areas which interest you most. You'll have the opportunity to learn about the latest research and professional practice in areas such as educational psychology, forensic, sport and health psychology.

Before completing your studies, you'll be able to choose whether to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc) qualification. Both awards are accredited by the British Psychological Society and will make you eligible for the Graduate Basis for Registration (GBR), the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist.

You will develop a range of practical, intellectual, research and transferable skills including psychological and social research methods, group working, communication, critical thinking and problem solving.
