PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Psychology is the scientific study of experience and behaviour. It examines why we act the way we do, how we interact with others, and the emotional meaning behind these interactions. The BSc (Hons) Psychology programme offers a scientific exploration of the mind, brain, and behaviour, equipping you with analytical skills and practical experience to understand human actions and prepare for a wide range of careers.

WHO IS THIS PROGRAMME FOR

The BSc (Hons) Psychology programme is suitable for those who have achieved a threshold level of qualification for entry into Higher Education. Appropriate qualifications may be drawn from a wide variety of awarding bodies but applicants should have a keen interest in psychology and the application of scientific principles to the understanding of a wide range of individual and social behaviours. Successful completion of the programme will equip applicants with the necessary knowledge and skills that will facilitate entry into a variety of careers, including professional psychology.

WHAT WILL THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE?

The BSc (Hons) Psychology programme is a three-year full-time programme giving students the opportunity for examining the biological, cognitive, developmental, individual difference and social psychological principles underlying everyday experience and behaviour and then investigating those psychological principles in contexts related to those in which professional psychologists work.

The Bachelor’s in Psychology programme is designed to take students from an analysis of everyday functions and attendant important behaviours, through core discipline knowledge of theory and empirical findings relevant to those behaviours and others, to an appreciation and understanding of contexts in which psychology can be applied and professional psychologists’ work.

WHY STUDY THIS PROGRAMME?

This Psychology Bachelor’s programme sets psychological investigation and knowledge into everyday functions, and encourages students to ask what behaviours are involved in those functions, and how may those behaviours be explained using psychological constructs and methods of investigation. A questioning approach to behaviour is thus encouraged from year one.

Practical and laboratory experience and skills development is embedded within this process, as is practical experience of research participation, thus linking the development of research and analytic skills to explaining behaviours relevant to everyday functioning and experiences. This approach is carried through to the final year where psychological knowledge is applied to contexts relevant to peoples’ lives and work.
