Giving you a solid grounding in the theories and issues of modern psychology, our diverse course embraces practical and theoretical work.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in conducting research and experimentation, and as part of the Department of Natural and Social Sciences, have the opportunity to meet and study with students on other programmes such as biology and criminology.
