What is BSc Psychology?

With BSc Psychology, you’ll explore core areas of the discipline, including cognition, biology, personality, mental health and social behaviour.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of what shapes how people think, feel and act. You’ll also build skills in evidence-based thinking, constructing arguments and designing quantitative and qualitative research.

Our flexible course lets you switch to a specialised psychology route before the end of year two. In year one, you can also switch to the Year Abroad or Placement degrees, subject to places and academic requirements.

You’ll learn from expert lecturers whose research directly informs their teaching. Through lectures, small-group learning and support from your academic adviser, you’ll build confidence as an independent thinker. You’ll develop strong communication skills and learn to apply psychological knowledge in academic, personal and professional contexts. Your studies are supported by our BPS-commended, nationally recognised specialist facilities.

Our students are at the centre of our teaching. So, you won’t just take part in your education, you’ll also help shape it.

Beyond the classroom, you can join research projects, volunteering and internships or take part in student societies such as our PsySoc.
