Overview
At the University of Surrey you can access the state-of-the-art psychology facilities, including a six-room virtual reality suite and two observation laboratories, and use the latest equipment to conduct experiments. Learn from lecturers who are active researchers in key psychological areas such as behavioural, cognitive, developmental, personality and social psychology.
Career opportunities
Study on a course commended by the BPS for the exceptional support provided to students and the way in which research is embedded into the curriculum, through workshops and practical opportunities. You'll get the chance to join one of our research groups and benefit from our links with renowned research institutions across the world. Surrey will evolve your knowledge of the theories and practical applications of contemporary psychology, with emphasis on how psychology is applied in practice. On the Psychology (Conversion) programme you will learn about the core areas of psychology, including cognitive, developmental and social psychology, the biological bases of psychology and individual differences. You’ll explore the brain, behaviour, personality and psychopathology, building an understanding of the conceptual and historical issues in psychology. You'll develop the research and statistical skills needed to conduct independent research projects under our expert supervision. You’ll also complete a research dissertation that will allow you to carry out experiments and start or join existing projects on important topics in the field. We’ll match your interests with the expertise of our academic staff, ensuring you get the best support possible. These collaborations have seen previous students’ work being published in top-tier journals. 100 per cent of Surrey postgraduate psychology graduates go on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2024, HESA). Surrey students complete additional study to take on roles as clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, occupational psychologists and sport and exercise psychologists, in addition to counsellors and therapists. They work for NHS trusts, healthcare organisations, and charities, amongst others.
