Psychology/Statistics

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It is about understanding how people think, act, react and interact; and how this understanding can help us, as psychologists, help people on an individual basis but also help address wider societal issues through academic endeavours and professional practice.

The possible pathways a degree in psychology can take you on are endless, such is the value of the graduate and psychological literacy and analytical skills you acquire during the degree.

Our school brings together world-leading expertise in experimental psychology, cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience in order to advance the understanding of human and animal behaviour.

Statistics is the science of collecting, analysing, presenting and interpreting data.

Our programmes are accredited by the Royal Statistical Society and have been consistently recognised for the diversity of the project work by our external examiners.
