  • Take advantage of one of the only psychology degrees in the UK with a Professional Training placement, where you’ll gain valuable work experience in a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, human resources and marketing.
  • Conduct your own experiments in our brain imaging suites, extended reality (XR) labs and other state-of-the-art psychology facilities.
  • Select from a wide choice of British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited final-year modules where you will explore topics like neurodevelopmental disorders, mental health, forensic psychology, brain injury, sustainable behaviour and more.
  • Build your research skills throughout the course, as you learn about research methods related to core psychology subjects such as neuropsychology and cognitive psychology – a unique learning approach that has been commended by the BPS.

What you will study

In your first year, you’ll study core areas of psychology and research methods, to develop your foundations of psychological literacy. This will be supported by small-group skills tutorials. Our first year uses a 'supported transition' approach, so you are specifically taught how to learn effectively at university alongside the course material.

In your second year, you’ll learn about contemporary issues that impact every area of psychology. You’ll also complete a module that supports your professional skills development, covering placements, job preparation and career options available in the psychology field.

In your final year, you’ll study an advanced critical thinking module and select four optional modules, to specialise and delve deeper into your areas of interest. You’ll also receive supervision from a staff member to conduct your own scientific research project, critically evaluating protocols, data and literature.
