Psychology BSc (Hons) (Main pathway)

Learn the secrets of the most complicated thing in the universe; the human brain. Our minds are utterly fascinating and endlessly complex. Each one is unique, moulded by our genes, our society and our experiences. This complexity is what makes the study of human psychology so fascinating and rewarding for people like you. Psychology is crucial for solving the problems of the modern world. We work to understand what drives prejudice, why some children grow up to commit crime while other’s don’t, how to tackle addiction and depression, how to change societal behaviour to protect the climate, and how to heal communities after trauma. As Abraham Maslow warned, “The world will either be saved by the psychologists or it won't be saved at all.” With Psychology at LSBU, you will be part of a community dedicated to improving lives and building a better future. You’ll work to centre and champion the lived experiences of others, learning to apply highly scientific theory and research skills with empathy and care. You’ll build a skillset that spans industries, making you an adept critical thinker, communicator and wellbeing advocate, as well as a someone ready to work in the psychology field. Prepare yourself to tackle real-world challenges by undertaking practical experiments in our top, industry-facilities that includes eye-tracking software, early years development facilities, tools to measure brain activity, and even a pub simulator. You will learn to think and act like a scientist here, exploring the ins and outs of psychological research and application, and getting you ready for industry or post-graduate study, to get you where you want to go next. You will get the chance to take on an optional Placement Year as part of your studies. Past students have gone on to apply their skills in the NHS, train as detectives in the police force, and take on roles in the likes of marketing, wellbeing and social care.
