Liverpool Hope University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

BSc Sports Psychology - we offer a suite of Combined Honours programmes. Combined Honours programmes allow students to connect a core curriculum on Psychology with the core curriculum of many other subjects taught at Liverpool Hope (e.g. Psychology and Criminology, Psychology and Education: see the list below for the full range of Psychology Combined Honours courses). They are giving students a choice of studying Psychology alone or Psychology alongside close to thirty other disciplines. It is essential that students can choose to study Psychology in a way that matches their interests.

Ethical practice and working within a shared set of values are also critical; our University is deeply committed to serving the common good. We see Psychology as a discipline with the capacity, and responsibility, to positively contribute to how people live in everyday life. Through our teaching of Psychology, we strive to enable our students to grow into constructive citizens who are curious about people and motivated to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Beyond classroom learning, there are opportunities to enrich your chosen programme of study to help you develop your psychological thinking. They include going on a placement year, working as a research assistant in a laboratory, travelling to another country as part of Global Hope, or studying abroad.

Our consistently high teaching quality ratings reflect our enthusiasm for the discipline. If our departmental narrative matches your aspirations, come and study with us at Liverpool Hope University.
