Studying psychology is about understanding how people think, feel, and act—whether this is just one person or a whole group. On our 3-year programme, accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of the science behind human behaviour. You’ll explore everything from social psychology and how we interact with others, to how our brain works and the psychological and neural basis of mental health issues. Plus, you'll learn from experts who are leading research in their fields, so you'll get access to the latest findings. Our programme is packed with hands-on research opportunities, which means you’ll develop both your critical thinking and practical research skills—whether it's collecting data, analysing results, or working on real-life issues. By our end of the program, you’ll be ready for a variety of careers—whether that’s in clinical or educational psychology, working in health and social services, research, industry, or legal professions.
Importantly, you’ll be learning in one of the UK’s top 10 psychology departments, with passionate lecturers who genuinely want to help you succeed.
