understanding people and society

Psychology is the study of the mind and human behaviour in a systematic and scientific way.

You'll also develop skills in qualitative and quantitative research methods and data analysis - valuable tools if you want to progress onto a Master's or PhD programme in a specialist area.

Our course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as conferring eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Society.
