Course Overview

This is an integrated master's four-year degree in psychology. You'll follow the undergraduate British Psychological Society accredited degree for the first three years, and in your fourth year, you'll move to the Masters's level of study. This course provides valuable insight into the nature of human behaviour. You'll be able to apply your psychological knowledge, undertake project work to enhance your CV and give the essential skills that can be used in many situations, careers, and further study. What makes people behave in specific ways? What are the mental and physical processes that underlie our actions? How do we perceive and understand things? What role does the unconscious mind play in our day-to-day lives? This course allows you to explore various topics related to mental processes and social behaviours. Youll look at current and sometimes controversial issues by examining case studies.
