Key facts

This flexible programme covers essential areas of psychology, including biological, cognitive, developmental, individual differences, and social psychology, alongside research methods and conceptual issues. You’ll build analytical, critical thinking, and research skills to evaluate psychological theories and address real-world challenges. You’ll also learn to apply a range of theoretical perspectives critically, particularly in relation to key debates such as nature versus nurture, which underpin much of contemporary psychological thinking.

A strong focus on research runs throughout, culminating in an empirical project. You’ll design and carry out independent psychological research, gaining experience in collecting, analysing, and presenting data using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The course is both engaging and academically robust, helping you build the skills and knowledge that are valued across a wide range of careers involving psychology.
