Course summary
Cognitive Psychology is the study of the mental processes that inform human behaviour, such as attention, language, memory, perception. On this programme, youll master key theories and research methods of this fascinating field.
Youll benefit from research-led teaching in a balance of small and larger groups. UEAs School of Psychology has been ranked 14th overall for research quality in Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience in the Times Higher Education REF 2021 Analysis. Throughout your time here you will be supported by your individual academic advisor, as well as having access to the Universitys Learning Enhancement and Wellbeing Teams.
Youll study topics such as the brain and cognition, psychology of risk, the visual world, psychology of language, and clinical neuropsychology. Youll be able to choose from a range of psychology modules and have the chance to experience topics you may not have come across before. If you discover a new passion or interest during your first year, youll have the option to change to a different Psychology pathway, ensuring youre on the right degree for you.
You'll spend your third year abroad, studying psychology or other related disciplines. A year abroad is a unique, fulfilling experience that will help you develop skills that youll use throughout your career, and that are coveted by employers.
