Psychology, BSc - 2016/17

Psychology has two great strengths as an undergraduate subject. First, it incorporates many different perspectives on, and ways of studying, human behaviour and experience. Psychology graduates therefore have a broad range of skills, making them highly attractive to wide range of potential employers. Second, a psychology degree can lead to a wide range of careers as a professional psychologist. A degree in Psychology gives you the chance to study an inherently fascinating and useful subject while offering you many opportunities for future development and employment. The single-honours degree and the ‘major’ pathway (Psychology with another subject) are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). In order to be on the ‘major’ pathway, combined-honours students must select 80 credits in Psychology in both their second and third years of study This is an important benchmark of quality, giving you the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the BPS.
