Pedir informaciónOur BSc in Psychology is designed to give you an understanding of the mind and behaviour. You will study people's internal mental processes, the biological mechanisms that underlie their behaviour, the social and developmental context in which they act, as well as clinical aspects of mental processes. As such, it shares features with other disciplines, including biology, anthropology, philosophy and education.
This degree fulfils the guidelines of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and offers a range of options in the final year, drawing from fundamental scientific research and applied psychology. These modules include topics in social psychology, developmental psychology, cognition and behavioural neuroscience, as well as neurorehabilitation, education and health.

Pedir informaciónThe BSc Psychological and Behavioural Science degree combines a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited education in psychology with a specialisation in cutting-edge behavioural science. Behavioural science is a relatively new discipline that focuses on applying psychological principles to challenges faced by organisations in the public, private and third sectors.
While psychology emphasises the mental processes that underlie behaviour, behavioural science emphasises behavioural outcomes and the design and evaluation of interventions to encourage behaviour change.
You will be taught state-of-the-art research methods, along with classic and innovative theory and research in psychology, following the BPS guidelines. You will learn to apply this knowledge to provide transformative insights for business, management and public policy. You can also apply to add a placement year or a year abroad to your degree, increasing the course from three to four years. ver más
