Course Overview

Psychology is an exciting and dynamic field that is concerned with the scientific study of how people think, feel, and behave. Our BSc Psychology degree is British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited and introduces you to the various scientific theories, methods, and models that help psychologists observe, interpret and explain human behavior across the lifespan. We explore the theory and practice behind everything from behavioral experiments to brain imaging to clinical assessments, in both healthy and patient populations.
