• Learn across six core areas of psychology (cognitive, biological, historical, developmental, social and individual differences)
• Gain extensive practical training in research methods.
• Learn to use scientific methods and evidence to understand, measure and modify behaviour.
• Crucially, learn how to think, write and critique in a scientific way, giving you the core skills you need to follow a career in the field.

Why do humans think, feel and behave the way we do? As a psychology student you will find answers to some of the most fundamental and fascinating of questions. When you graduate with a 2:2 honours degree or better, you will be able to join the BPS as a graduate member, an essential step on the journey to becoming a professional psychologist.
