    As you study this fascinating science, you’ll come to understand the basic nature of human thought, behaviour and emotion. You’ll also gain a general background in all of the sciences which inform Psychology, from Human Biology and Biochemistry to Mathematics and Statistics. You’ll also explore how learning, thinking and feeling are affected by the physicality of the brain, genetics, and the environment.

    Sheffield Hallam University’s BSc in Psychology will allow you to vastly expand your knowledge of the science and practice of psychology. You won’t be limited to the theoretical level, though. You’ll do work placements in real world settings and learn to practice psychology in a people-focused, clinical context as well.
