Our psychology degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society, and so is your first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist working in areas such as forensic, health and clinical psychology.
The abilities you develop will also serve you well in related areas such as teaching, human resources, health and social care, and research. You’ll have opportunities to examine topics such as what brain events occur during a phobic reaction, how to maintain psychological wellbeing, and why some people are psychopaths.
Our Psychology BSc (Hons) course scored 92% for academic support in the National Student Survey 2024. Our Psychology courses are ranked in the top 10 in the UK for student satisfaction by the Complete University Guide 2024.
In your first year you’ll cover the core conceptual frameworks in psychology, how to investigate psychological questions, and ways that psychology can help us in everyday life. In your second and third years you’ll choose from a range of specialist topics – from psychology of forensics and wellbeing to gender, sexuality and cognitive neuroscience.
Students have recently investigated psychopathy and brain activity, psychological issues around eating disorders, animal therapy and motivations in physical exercise. You’ll use specialist facilities in our psychology laboratories, including electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment to measure brain activity, and virtual reality facilities to investigate how environments shape thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Your work will be assessed in a variety of ways to develop career-relevant skills – including reports, presentations, blogs and portfolios, as well as traditional essays and exams. You’ll also have a chance to pursue a topic of personal interest for your research dissertation.
It’s planned that this course will be taught at UoG’s new campus in Gloucester city centre from September 2025.
The vibrant campus will be at the heart of the regeneration of Gloucester city centre. It will bring an iconic building back to life as a modern centre for teaching, learning and community partnerships, through placements, research and outreach activity, and provide cutting-edge facilities for your course.

“Having hands-on experience during my degree felt great, and really helped at a later job interview. My lecturers were really encouraging with lots of advice, and I did my dissertation on common mental health problems such as paranoia. I presented at Cardiff Science Festival about it! I want to become a clinical Psychologist – currently I work in research at Cardiff University and I’m an assistant psychologist for NHS Swansea. I find my work really rewarding – making a difference to people experiencing distress.”
