Psychology

An excellent springboard into a range of careers

Delve into the mind to unearth behaviour patterns or learn how to help elite athletes remove psychological barriers.

Understand the mental processes and behaviour of individuals and social groups by looking at concepts such as thinking, memory, problem solving, emotion, development, communication and relationships.

Using a scientific approach you will apply core psychological principles to a range of areas and – depending on the focus of your course – gain vital insights into the criminal mind, criminal justice system, sport, education, exercise, health, the British legal system and contemporary policing. You will be challenged to develop your knowledge, skills, self-awareness, self-management and self-expression.
