Psychology BSc

You’ll learn on real-world projects that are making a difference to people’s lives — whether that’s work and research to prevent prison inmates from reoffending, coaching young people to navigate the challenges of adolescence, or learning to understand the psychology of primates at Twycross Zoo.

Explore the things that make us who we are – from the factors that influence our biological and social development, to cognitive psychology, to key historical and sociocultural issues. You'll also receive extensive training in research methods and statistics.

In your final year, you'll complete a research project, focused on a topic of your choice.
