    Course Summary

    Psychologists study how, why and what we think, as well as the different factors which make people and animals behave the way they do. After achieving a professional qualification through the British Psychological Society, you’ll be equipped to set up your own professional practice as a forensic, industrial or clinical psychologist, among any other specialties.

    This is the perfect course for you if you would like to explore what makes you and those around you ‘tick’, as well as learning how to help people make the most of their lives by overcoming difficulties and traumas.

    You’ll learn a wide range of skills which apply to your employability more generally as well. You’ll gain crucial problem solving, communication, data handling and manipulation, critical appraisal and advanced numeracy skills, among many others.

    This course includes the option of a year spent studying abroad – at one of the university’s partner institutions in Australia, the United States or Canada.

Many other students seek out roles in the advertising, marketing or even banking industries, or pursue options in project or personnel management.
