This programme is very similar in content to the BSc Hons Psychology programme but is structured differently to offer counselling courses as core components.
Psychology seeks to understand mind and behaviour through experimentation, observation and measurement. This includes the study of perception, memory and emotion in adults and children; the socio-psychological processes that shape our relationships with each other and society; the development of language, behaviour, personality and thought in children; the biological processes that underpin behaviour; and the causes and treatment of abnormal behaviour.
Students are introduced to the core areas of psychology, as well as receiving a strong grounding in psychological research methods. This component focuses on learning about how psychological research is conducted, analysed and reported through a series of guided-learning exercises, culminating in an independent research project in the final year.
The degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society and confers eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership. GBC is necessary if students intend to pursue psychology as a career, especially if they are interested in becoming a chartered psychologist.
Career options
Graduates have opportunities in business, commerce, counselling (with additional training), education (with additional training), research, human resource management and the social sciences.
