Why study Psychology?
Psychology helps you understand people, from everyday decisions to mental health. This degree builds research skills and a real insight into behaviour.
- Work with people in health, education or business
- Understand behaviour at home and at work
- Flexible timetable: 2 set days a week, 1 online and 1 on campus
The BSc (Hons) Psychology helps you understand how people think, feel and behave. You study social, developmental and biological psychology alongside research methods, then cognitive psychology, individual differences, mental health and statistics. You learn how psychologists design studies, collect evidence and draw careful conclusions, skills that are useful in many jobs.
In your final year you explore health, forensic and workplace psychology, and complete a dissertation based on your own research. You study online and on campus on set days, in London and Manchester, with a timetable that fits your week. No A-levels? A foundation year starts you off with study skills, an introduction to psychology and numbers for research.
Psychology graduates work in mental health support, education, human resources, research and marketing. Some psychology careers need further postgraduate training, and your adviser can explain what that involves. They can also tell you how the timetable works at each campus.
