Psychology

How do we think and interact with the world? Why do we react in the ways we do? Explore the ways our minds work.

Our course covers all core elements of psychological study, from lifespan development, neuropsychology, and research methods to social, critical and cognitive psychology.

You’ll learn about a wide range of methods used in psychology research. During your studies, you might be conducting experiments, developing an independent research proposal, and learning about qualitative methodologies.

We support our students to develop their natural curiosity, creating psychology graduates who are equipped to explore the human experience in an ethical, empathetic, and scientific manner.

Some of the topics you’ll study include the influence of biology and genetics on behaviour, perception and memory, mental health and cultural differences, and the importance of ethical practice.

Our psychology courses are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
