BA Joint (Hons) Psychology & Spanish

University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Our primary focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour.

You'll look at behaviour conditions – how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for individual differences, such as personality or intelligence.

Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4), the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the courses are limited.

With more than 500 million native speakers, Spanish is the world's second most commonly spoken language. Speaking Spanish will help you conduct business more confidently in countries increasingly crucial in world markets. 

Studying with us will allow you to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and studying in another country.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen topic (s).
