Environmental Psychology BSc

In addition to the core topics in Psychology (Biopsychology, Cognitive, Social and Developmental Psychology, Individual difference and Research Methods), you will develop specialist knowledge and skills regarding the reciprocal behaviour-environment relationship. You will learn about how the environment influences human behaviour: this includes how we perceive and navigate our environments, the role of built and natural environments on behaviour; as well as how other environmental influences - such as noise, temperature crowding - can shape and impact on our behaviour. You will also study how human behaviour impacts the environment: you will learn about the environmental issues that we face today (such as climate change, air pollution), and what we can contribute as psychologists to encourage pro-environmental behaviour. <br/><br/>You will learn how to apply your theoretical and research knowledge to practical problems. This programme is led and hosted by the <br/>School of Psychology<br/>, and we work in collaboration with the UELs centre of excellence - the <br/>Sustainability Research Centre (SRI)<br/>- to deliver some of the material, placement work and co-supervise projects. In joining us at UEL, you will have a unique student experience as well as learning the requisite knowledge base and skills to contribute to the creation of a sustainable future. <br/><br/>Upon graduation, you will be able to progress your career in central and local government focused on research-based policies on a variety of environment-related behaviour issues, climate science and environmental communicators, private sector in the research and design of behavioural interventions in different environmental contexts, or further study at MSc or PhD level. <br/><br/>This course accredited by the <br/>British Psychological Society (BPS)<br/> and covers the core content you need to apply for graduate membership.
