Course Overview

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.

Here at BGU in Lincoln, we ensure you have close support and contact with your tutors, and with small group sizes, you’ll always get the help and feedback you need on your course. We also know how important it is to experience a natural working environment, so through work placements and other projects, you’ll be equipped for whichever career path you choose after your degree. With research-informed teaching and research-active staff, you’ll receive scientific training and gain an in-depth understanding of the subject's nature while applying your knowledge and theory to real life.

The course offers graduates a range of employability opportunities with module content supporting students in developing a wide range of transferable skills and providing a curriculum enabling students to develop their academic skills. Students who graduate from the program will be awarded a complete and relevant degree enhancing employability by allowing them to seek roles in early childhood settings as part of the adult: child ratio.
