About Psychology

Psychology covers a wide range of theoretical and applied disciplines. Study how we think, perceive, develop, and change - you will learn how to “do” psychology and will receive rigorous training in the methods that are used to study human behaviour and the mind.

All of our psychology degrees are accredited by The British Psychological Society. Our psychology degrees can be studied with many other subjects and are offered as single, joint and combined BSc and MA degrees.
