    Course Summary

    London South Bank University offers a unique Psychology BSc degree program. It offers u an opportunity to study the human mind in great depth, in some of the country’s most cutting edge laboratories and facilities, all with the extremely practical, vocational approach for which LSBU is famous.

    You’ll study the prevailing theories of mind, behaviour and psychology, as well as the many ways people can suffer psychological distress. You’ll learn how to help patients, how to fully understand the needs of your clients, and how to make any organisation a more harmonious place.

    This program incorporates an optional year in industrial placement or internship, making it a 4 year pathway to a ‘3 year’ degree. This is more than an opportunity to gain practical public-facing experience as a clinical, industrial or commercial psychologist. It is a way to set yourself apart from other graduates and to learn skills within your area of specialty.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
