Course Overview

A psychology degree is accredited by The British Psychological Society and can be studied full-time over three years. We also offer it as a four-year course which is unique in offering two six-month work placements or you can carry out a one-year placement within a single environment. Work experience while studying is a great asset, whether you choose to continue your studies in psychology or seek employment. You will know what its like to apply your skills in the workplace, which builds confidence and is attractive to employers. Recent placements have included the Institute of Psychiatry, Royal Free Hospital, and Holloway Prison. The course will help you to develop specific skills and practical methods before allowing you to tailor your studies to your own interests in the final year by selecting modules and writing a dissertation. This prepares you for the more self-directed study of a master's and specialization in a particular field should you choose to pursue it. Brunel offers access to extensive laboratory and technical facilities including brain imaging facilities (fMRI, EEG), psychophysics, and eye-tracking. A good understanding of the equipment you may use in your work placement or in research is a useful skill to have for the future.
