Why QMU?

  • We offer a stimulating environment in which students can develop the intellectual and professional edge needed for working with 21st century society, and in which our staff work on outward-facing, innovative and cross-disciplinary research.

  • Our course is student-focused and research-informed. It offers students the opportunity to work closely with staff on current, real-world projects and collaborations.

  • Our class sizes are smaller compared with some universities, so you have closer and more personal support and guidance from our staff.

  • We came top amongst UK universities for 'overall student satisfaction in social sciences' in the National Student Survey 2021.

    On this course you will:

  • Learn the valuable skills needed to think critically and scientifically and you will engage in empirical research throughout your degree.

  • 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.

  • Enhance your broad psychological knowledge by specialising in your choice of dissertation topic and elective modules.

    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.
