About this course

Are you fascinated by the human mind? Do you question what prompts human behaviour? Choose the BSc in Psychology degree at the University of Southampton to journey into the human psyche. This highly useful degree course will let you analyse human choices, emotions, motivations and beliefs through research and data analysis.

On this degree, we offer you a broad range of subjects to delve into, such as social psychology and neuroscience, leading to more specific subjects such as child development and the psychology of advertising.

This degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society, and you’ll be eligible for membership when you graduate. 

Our facilities will support you in every area of research. They include:

  • a custom-fit mobile research vehicle for community research 
  • eye movement recording facilities

  • study a second subject as a minor discipline
  • study abroad at one of our partner universities including the University of Sydney, University of Hong Kong, and University of Western Ontario
