What is psychology?
Over the past two decades, psychology has become one of the most popular degree subjects in the world. It is a fascinating subject that helps us to understand the ways in which our brains, minds, relationships and societies work. Psychology is the science of mental processes and covers the actions, feelings, memories, perceptions and thoughts of people from infancy to old age, ranging in focus from individuals to groups, organisations and societies.

Psychology is multidisciplinary, crossing boundaries between biology, medicine, philosophy, psychiatry and social science and has a vast number of real-world applications. Cognitive neuroscience is a related scientific discipline concerned with the study of the brain and the mechanisms that determine how we perceive, combine and process information.


How will I study?
You will be taught through lectures, tutorials, practical classes and seminars. Practical and project work will also develop your problemsolving skills, including the ability to design, conduct and analyse various types of psychological research. Additionally, the programme will improve your oral and written communication skills, as well as your ability to use information technology and information retrieval systems.

You will be assessed through a variety of methods including formal exams and coursework. On completion of your programme you will have acquired a range of knowledge and skills including the ability to analyse and assess contemporary theories, empirical studies and practical applications.


Career prospects
A recent report by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (UK) found that psychology graduates are among the most employable, and least likely to be unemployed, of any degree programme. A psychology degree helps prepare graduates for many types of work, providing an impressive range of skills that make them highly sought-after. A degree in psychology will provide rigorous training in critical thinking, the ability to communicate effectively and other key employment-related skills. Psychologists work in many areas in the public and private sector, from hospitals and schools to management consultancies, high-tech industries and even professional sports teams.

Many of our graduates will go on to choose psychology as a career -as researchers and teachers of the subject or as practitioners in a range of sub-disciplines of psychology, such as clinical and counselling, educational and school, engineering, forensic, health, industrial, organisational and sports. Psychology graduates can also progress to a career in research, in either the public or private sector, for example Google, Facebook and Oculus. Some less typical, yet potential options in the corporate sector include careers in human resources, marketing, and media and advertising.

BSc Psychology
BSc Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience

During your first year, you will be introduced to the core areas of biological, cognitive, developmental and social psychology. As well as theoretical principles, the modules cover the applied aspects of these subjects, for example in clinical, education and engineering settings. You will learn statistical methods of analysis and how to plan, conduct and report on psychological or cognitive neuroscience experiments. You will also have the flexibility to select up to two modules from other schools.

The BSc Psychology and BSc Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience programmes are identical in the first year to give you a good grounding in psychology. It is possible to change between the two degree programmes at the end of the first year. Both degree programmes offer equally good career opportunities. The main difference between the two degrees is that psychology and cognitive neuroscience is relatively more focused on biological processes.

In your second year, you will expand your understanding, deal with more advanced theoretical problems, continue training in relevant research methods and be given greater independence in undertaking research. Practical sessions run in a series of five-week group projects and are accompanied by further statistics programmes. Psychology and cognitive neuroscience students have specialist practical classes, focusing on neuroscience-based topics, as well as a series of extra lectures focusing on contemporary neuroimaging techniques. There are opportunities to spend one or two semesters in your second year at our campus in the UK.

The final year allows you to choose from a variety of advanced topics. If you are studying for the psychology and cognitive neuroscience degree, you will need to take 40 credits of cognitive neuroscience modules and the remaining credits can be any of the other modules on offer. Psychology students, on the other hand, have the flexibility to choose from both psychology and cognitive neuroscience modules.

You are also required to conduct an independent research study during your final year. Acting under the supervision of a lecturer, you will be expected to take the initiative in designing and conducting the research yourself, and completing a full research project report.
