Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes. You'll learn about the structure of the brain as well as the perceptions, thoughts, feelings and actions of people.

In years one and two you will study core areas of psychology. You will gain a breadth of knowledge across different branches of psychology such as educational, health and forensic. In year three you will have more options to choose your modules and tailor your degree to your own interests and career aspirations. You'll develop a variety of skills and techniques such as data analysis and research methods.

This course is an integrated masters. In your fourth year, you will undertake a major research project. This project is your chance to be part of the transformational research at Nottingham. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with one of the research groups in the School of Psychology. We have a broad spectrum of research interests which allows us to offer a wide range of topics for you to choose from.
