BSc (Hons) Psychology (Integrated Foundation Year)

Course Overview Psychology is the scientific study of experience and behaviour. It examines why we act the way we do, how we interact with others, and the emotional meaning behind these interactions. Key Program Highlights The BSc (Hons) Psychology programme offers a scientific exploration of the mind, brain, and behaviour, equipping you with analytical skills and practical experience to understand human actions and prepare for a wide range of careers. This Psychology Bachelor’s programme sets psychological investigation and knowledge into everyday functions, and encourages students to ask what behaviours are involved in those functions, and how may those behaviours be explained using psychological constructs and methods of investigation. A questioning approach to behaviour is thus encouraged from year one. Practical and laboratory experience and skills development is embedded within this process, as is practical experience of research participation, thus linking the development of research and analytic skills to explaining behaviours relevant to everyday functioning and experiences. This approach is carried through to the final year where psychological knowledge is applied to contexts relevant to peoples’ lives and work.
