BSc (Hons) Psychology with Integrated Foundation Year

The BSc (Hons) Psychology course is built around five key areas of psychology, as defined by the British Psychological Society (BPS), and uses ideas from evolution to help you understand how the human mind has developed over time. This is important to help you understand human thoughts and behaviours. You’ll shape your studies around your interests, which allows learning that's applicable and relatable to matters that concern you and your future career. You can pursue your interests in your final year by choosing from a diverse and inclusive range of modules such as mental health and illness, addiction, and clinical neuropsychology. Because this course is approved by the British Psychological Society (BPS), if you graduate with a 2:2 or above, you can gain Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), an essential step towards becoming a professional psychologist
