A Psychology degree built by you

Personalise your Bradford Triple Practice journey, exploring topics that interest you.

Start at the same place as your coursemate, learning the ropes together. Where you take it from there is down to you. As you start putting your ideas into practise, you can pursue your interests, choosing topics, projects, case studies, research opportunities and dissertations.

Maybe you'll explore counselling, crime or sport. You could make your mark on Born in Bradforn, a groundbreaking research programme tracking the lives of over 60,000 Bradford residents. Or collaborate with the West Yorkshire Police. Or getting your teeth into a live research project.

And it doesn't stop there. Whatever route you take, our modules build the skills, knowledge and confidence you need for a rewarding future.

You'll benefit from:
