About this course
Explore the most fascinating subject of all: the human mind. Our accredited degree covers all the key areas, including cognition, development and neuroscience. You’ll study topics such as memory, social relationships, child development, the ageing brain and forensics. And you’ll develop practical and technical skills which can help tackle real-life issues such as dementia.
You have the freedom to delve deeper into the topics that interest you the most such as animal psychology, which includes field trips to Yorkshire Wildlife Park and the shores of Loch Lomond at no additional cost.
There's also the chance to graduate with a named-pathway degree in areas such as Neuroscience or Applied Psychology. Or choose our specialist clinical psychology modules and fast-track onto our fully-funded ClinPsyD programme – the only course of its kind in the UK.1
You can also study for a semester in countries like the Netherlands (Saxion University), Norway (University of Bergen), Germany (Osnabrück University) and Hungary (Eötvös Loránd University).
Other options include taking up an internship or an optional paid placement year in industry, or work as a research assistant or intern while you study, gaining hands-on experience for your CV.
Whatever you choose, you’re guided by professional psychologists and clinical practitioners. Ours is a friendly, supportive department with strong links to the NHS and the private sector. So everything you learn is up to date and industry-relevant.
We focus on giving you the skills you actually need in your career.
Teaching is usually through lecturers and tutorials, with assessments including case studies, video blogs, posters, group presentations, displays, museum exhibits, reviews and field trips where possible, although some exams are necessary as part of a high-quality degree.
You'll also be part of a small group working with your own personal supervisor who will mark some of your work and help you choose your modules based around your future career plans.
You'll stay in this supervision group for two years, building relationships with peers and giving you a consistent team of fellow students to work with for group presentations.
