BA (Hons) Psychology

Do you ever wonder why is it we behave as we do? How do gangs, teams, and friendship groups form? Do you wonder if smiling does make you feel more positive? Do you often ask more critical questions about life and who we are?

Psychology has a science base yet includes a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, statistics, and computer-based skills. As well as classic psychological theories and research, on this undergraduate degree, you’ll be debating social issues, studying specific mental processes, such as memory, language, and attention, as well as broader issues and theories – historical and contemporary. As well as applying psychological knowledge to various subjects, you will develop your skills in problem-solving, data analysis, prediction, and reasoning, focusing on real-world applications.
