Course description
This is a three-year, full-time BSc programme that provides a comprehensive general coverage of the central topics of psychology, organised around four themes: Evolution and Development, Mind and Brain, Communication and Interaction, and Adaptability and Wellbeing. A series of compulsory course units in Years 1 and 2 give students a thorough overview of the central theoretical ideas and empirical findings in psychology.
In the final year of study, students can choose from a range of specialised course units, in addition to the research project. We devote considerable attention to training in the skills required to carry out psychological investigations by means of practical classes and instruction in research methods, statistics and the use of computers.
Study abroad programme
A four-year course variant is available where Year 3 is spent studying abroad. Psychology students may be considered for this scheme at the end of their second year.You would need to achieve the appropriate progression criteria for this route and would be transferred to the 'BSc Psychology with International Study'.
