Psychology BSc

BSc(Hons) Psychology is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), so you'll have the opportunity to obtain the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) alongside your degree. That's the initial recognised standard you need to become a practising psychologist.

Built around the core BPS curriculum, the course will help you apply academic knowledge to real-world situations learning from internationally-recognised researchers and practitioners. 

One of the modules on the course is accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).

You'll gain advanced psychological knowledge and valuable transferable skills, becoming a strong communicator and problem solver.

Hands-on experience with psychological measures and equipment and approaches in practical sessions will develop your knowledge further.

Mentored by a personal tutor, you'll undertake work-based learning, have the opportunity to go on a placement, and participate in research projects. In your final year, you'll complete an independent research project in an area of your interest.

If you choose to do a sandwich year placement, you'll spend a year working in a public, private or voluntary sector organisation between your second and final year. If you choose to do Study Year Abroad, you'll spend the same period of time studying at an appropriate overseas institution.
