Edge Hill University, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Our course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and is the perfect first step on your journey to becoming a chartered professional. Psychology puts every aspect of the brain and our behavior under the microscope – how we learn, interact and use body language. In criminology, you’ll discover the nuances of criminal behavior through insights into the inner workings of the justice system.

Developing research skills is vital too. We’ll help you explore the latest methodologies. At the same time, you’ll develop career skills in creativity, critical thinking, and communication.

Outside the lecture theatre, we encourage you to get involved with our Psychology Society and look out for exciting opportunities to work with our experts on their latest research projects. Your psychology degree will be taught by staff who carry out world-leading research and are experts in their fields.
