On this course, as well as studying general psychology modules, you will specialise in understanding the structure of the human brain, and how it functions to affect perception, thought, emotion, language and behaviour. You will analyse what happens when the brain is damaged or impaired, as for example in head injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. You will study not only the effects of these conditions, but also how such patients can be helped through rehabilitation. During the course, you will become acquainted with advanced techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) and event related potentials (ERP) for observing brain activity and diagnosing problems.

This course focuses on Psychology with Neuropsychology but is still suitable for students who want to follow any of the main psychological professions (clinical psychology, educational psychology, counselling psychology, health psychology, etc). In addition, there are careers open to graduates and postgraduates from any discipline. These include, e.g. careers in management training, accountancy, teaching, nursing, social work, the police and the armed forces. Further, employers are usually looking for general or transferable skills, and a psychology degree arguably provides a unique combination of these as it is both a literate and numerate discipline.
