Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental functioning.
We provide you with the chance to study a broad range of topics within psychology including close relationships, perception, memory, addiction, emotions, pain management, autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), early deprivation, antisocial behaviour, sexual health and the treatment of diabetes. These are just a few of the areas in which our research teams specialise and which aid the wider community.
Our flexible courses mean you can personalise your learning to suit your interests and career goals. You’ll be able to choose from a range of psychology options as well as modules from disciplines across the University. Single honours students can opt to study a ‘minor’ subject alongside psychology and gain a deeper understanding of a second discipline. There are also opportunities to study abroad through the exchange scheme.
All of these courses can be completed with a Year in Employment between your second and third year.
