About the BSc Applied Psychology programme
BSc Applied Psychology aims to produce a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and of the complex interactions between these. It also aims to present multiple perspectives in a way that fosters critical evaluation and leads to an understanding of real life applications of theory to the full range of experience and behaviour.
Other key elements of this degree involve the development of an understanding of the role of evidence and its relationship to theory. In relation to this, students will acquire knowledge and experience of a range of research skills and methods for investigating experience and behaviour. Students will also develop knowledge, leading to an ability to appreciate and critically evaluate theory, research findings and applications.
