Accredited by the British Psychological Society, this degree combines a strong core of psychology with social and applied perspectives on human behaviour.The BSc Social Psychology is underpinned by core psychology areas, but shaped to social aspects through optional choices which focus on how people interact and relate to their social environment.
An accredited psychology degree is the first step to becoming a chartered psychologist and accreditation is necessary to work in the psychology professions, such as educational, occupational or clinical psychology.
In your third year, you will have the exciting opportunity to study Psychology abroad at one of the university exchange partners in Australasia, New Zealand, North America or Europe.

Course programme

The academic year consists of two 12-week semesters. A typical module is taught through two lectures and about one seminar per week. While lectures are attended by all students taking a specific module, seminars are held in smaller groups where you can interact more directly with the tutor and your peers to and address and discuss different topics.

Year 1

In your first year you will study three compulsory modules which will make up your core learning, providing you with a platform upon which you can develop your psychological knowledge.

You will encounter a wide variety of topics, from child development to linking the study of the individual to society. The research module will introduce you to subject specific methods in the study of psychology, as you begin to develop research skills and a critical perspective.

Year 2

The second year follows a similar structure to the first year, with compulsory modules designed to develop your understanding of different branches of psychology. An advanced module in research methods aims to consolidate your knowledge of research design, qualitative analysis and statistics.

Alongside this you will have the opportunity to choose an optional module from a published list which may be a Psychology module (enabling you to develop your applied understanding of a variety of branches of psychology) or an option from outside the school which may be relevant to your career or other interests (e.g. a business or advanced language module) .

Year 3

You will spend your third year at one of our partner universities including, Temple, San Francisco State, University of Massachusetts Amherst in America and Deakin University in Australia. Partnerships are currently being developed with further universities. You will need to pass your year abroad, but it will not count towards your final degree classification.

Year 4

In the final year you will complete a substantial research project, reflecting your intellectual interests and career aspirations broadly related to a social psychological topic of your choosing.

Example areas of research from previous areas include: drug/alcohol use, including its effects on society; implicit cognition; intergroup contact theory; stereotyping and prejudice; perceptions of ex-offenders. You will be supported by a supervisor with expertise in your chosen area of research, helping you to use your research skills to plan and produce a research project drawing on a specific form of data gathering and analysis. This could be focused on interviewing, survey work and/or experimental design, both within the laboratory and in applied contexts.

You will also select a number of optional modules from a wide range of psychology subjects, designed to give you specialist knowledge in social psychology.
