Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology
Overview
This four-year, level 8 degree provides graduates with a broad and comprehensive foundation in Psychology—the study of human behaviour and the mind.
We will examine a diversity of interesting questions at the core of psychological research, such as:
- Why does conflict happen, and how can we build positive relationships?
- How do children learn language?
- How do prejudices develop?
- How can we improve our decision making?
- How can individuals with psychological diagnoses be supported?
- How does the brain process and store memories?
You will focus on psychology throughout the entirety of your degree, giving you a strong foundation that will pave the way for your future in the discipline.
A major attribute of this programme is the work placement in Year 3, which provides you with hands on experience of the application of psychology.
In Year 4, students complete a research project in their chosen area of interest – integrating knowledge gained across the 4 years.
