BSc (Hons) Psychology

With a reputation for academic excellence, practical value and intellectual rigour, our BPS-accredited psychology degree is one of the most respected courses of its kind in the UK. This fascinating degree gives you a grounding in all major areas of psychology and our graduates are thoroughly prepared for employment, postgraduate research and professional training. Our Psychology department is one of the largest of any British university, offering a stimulating environment with high-profile, research-active staff and exceptionally well-equipped labs and computer facilities.

Work placement

Students have the opportunity to undertake four-week work experience during their second-year. A reflective report and poster presentation of the work experience is then undertaken in the final year. This is a good opportunity for students to obtain experience in their chosen setting and sometimes leads to future job opportunities.

Study abroad

If you choose, you can apply to study an optional, additional year between your second and third year at one of our partner universities. The opportunity to study abroad is through the University's study abroad programme. Study abroad opportunities are available worldwide and in Europe under the Erasmus+ Programme.
