Psychology with Education Studies

Psychology is the study of the mind and how it shapes behaviour. On this course, you'll explore human behavior using scientific methods like observation, testing, and measurement to understand why people act the way they do. You’ll also study the history of education in the UK and explore modern issues like social class, race, ethnicity, and social justice in education.

The programme builds critical thinking, communication, and research skills, plus industry-specific expertise in data analysis and presentation. Our graduates go on to succeed in fields like criminal justice, education, social work, healthcare, research, advertising, and HR.
