BSc (Hons) Psychology

The scientific study of the connection between behaviour and the mind is known as psychology. Teaching and evaluation place a strong emphasis on applying these fundamental areas to real-world problems and improving employability skills like communication, teamwork, and computer and numeracy literacy.

Their psychology graduates have a solid track record of finding work in a variety of fields, including teaching, coaching, counselling, business management, marketing, human resources, clinical practice, and academic research.
