Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Psychology (Including Placement Year) (C80P)

This ‘pure psychology’ course will allow students to gain a scientific understanding of the basic processes by which we learn, think, feel and adapt to social conditions.

The course covers the investigation of behaviour from infancy to old age, and deals with the biological, social and individual factors that affect human psychology. This course offers students the widest possible choice of modules, which enables them to tailor studies as interests develop.

The first year of the course is designed to provide a broad introduction to the study of psychology. It is designed to provide a thorough grounding in the subject for those with no psychology background while allowing those who have already studied Psychology to increase the breadth and depth of their understanding. The second year continues on the same basis, enabling graduates to cover all the core topics required for the BPS Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership. Year three completes your BSc with a major research project and an in-depth study of at least four topics selected from the full range of modules that are currently available.
