Psychology

Psychology is both an experimental and observational science. This means you will observe and measure human behaviour, tackle literature searches, then develop, test, and evaluate theories. This culminates in designing and conducting your own supervised research project in your final year, which is one of the cornerstones of your degree.

This degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and its core areas follow the curriculum set out by the BPS. This is essential if you want to become a Chartered Psychologist and means successful graduates can apply for further professional training.

Psychology degrees here at Abertay are flexible. You can switch to another 'Psychology with' pathway if you develop an interest in a particular topic later.

No other Scottish university is offering these flexible undergraduate degree pathways in psychology. We believe this gives you a distinct edge when it comes to applying for postgraduate study or employment.
