Program Overview

Why choose this course

  • Study on the only one-year full-time (or two-year part-time) degree in the world to focus on both sustainability and environmental design (established in 1973), to discover how our physical environment influences the way we act, feel and think.
  • Access our state-of-the-art psychology facilities, including a virtual reality suite and two observation laboratories, and use the latest equipment to conduct experiments.
  • Learn from lecturers who are active researchers in environmental change, restorative environments, sustainable living and much more.

What you will study

You’ll explore the relationship between people and their physical environment at every scale, from personal space in offices to climate change awareness. You’ll gain the knowledge and skills to support the design, management and use of environments that benefit human function and health.

You’ll address issues around architectural psychology, social change and sustainable development, while reviewing the major theoretical formulations and models within environmental psychology. We’ll also give you an insight into qualitative and quantitative research methods, including the use of statistics, ensuring you have a solid foundation to collect, analyse and interpret data.

You’ll select one optional module to delve into topics, including applied psychology and public policy, chronic conditions and psychological aspects of healthcare.

You’ll also complete a research dissertation that will allow you to carry out research on important topics in the field. Previous student projects have ranged from climate change perceptions to privacy in open-plan offices, biophilic design, and the emotional and cognitive benefits of nature engagement. We’ll match your interests with the expertise of our academic staff, ensuring you get the best support.
