Psychology is the scientific study of how the mind shapes and influences our behaviour. In this course, we explore human behaviour using sound scientific methodology—observation, measurement, and testing—to understand how and why people function as they do.
You'll study core areas, including biological, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, and you'll cover personality and intelligence, research methods, and historical perspectives. We offer excellent facilities, including dedicated computer laboratories with the latest analysis software, individual research cubicles, interview rooms, and an observation suite, all supported by our psychology technicians.
Studying for a Psychology degree will equip you with a range of skills that are transferable and desired by employers, including critical thinking, analysing data, communicating ideas (written, oral, and visual), numerical reasoning skills, computer literacy, effective teamwork, project management, and being self-directed in meeting deadlines. These are the kinds of skills that make Psychology graduates attractive to employers and competitive in the job market.
Gaining a psychology degree is an essential first step to a career as a psychologist or to moving on to postgraduate study. A Psychology degree allows you to access further training for specialist Psychology careers such as Clinical Psychology, Health Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Forensic psychology.
Psychology graduates are valued across various fields and thrive in careers where an understanding of societal issues is critical—healthcare, criminal justice, education, social work, market research, social research, UX research, policy-making, advertising, and human resources.
