BSc (Hons) Psychology (Foundation Year)
Our BSc (Hons) Psychology course has been designed to equip you with critical psychological skills, knowledge and values that can be applied to real world contexts. With practical teaching from experienced lecturers coupled with bespoke support from our Employability Service, you will graduate ready to take the next step in your career.
Successful completion of this course will allow you to pursue further education in the field of psychology (including an MSc), or enhance your employability in areas such as health, education, management or policing, and beyond.
The Psychology Lab at our Leeds Campus is equipped with experiment cubicles, an observation suite and VR equipment. Explore our Psychology Lab virtual tour below.
You can choose to take an additional Foundation Year before you start your BSc (Hons) Psychology. This introductory year focuses on developing the key skills required to study at degree level and covers the same six modules as on our law and business degrees. The modules covered will initially enhance your communications skills, digital and information literacy and ability to think critically. You then have the added flexibility of switching your degree programme if another discipline captures your interest, subject to availability and entry requirements.
