Course summary
Psychology enables you to study the workings of the human mind and how this is revealed in human behaviour, both consciously and unconsciously. As a psychology student, you will be introduced to psychological theories and will learn to critically evaluate them so that you can reach your own well-informed conclusions about the nature and origins of human and non-human behaviour. Counselling is the process of assisting someone to resolve psychological issues or difficulties, so understanding why humans behave as they do is critical to the efficacy of any intervention.You鈥檒l have access to excellent facilities and equipment. We have recently invested 拢320k in new hardware and software for our psychology laboratories and we also have a laboratory in the new 拢13m state-of-the-art Health and Wellbeing Building officially opened in June 2023.Studying psychology enables you to develop a diverse range of transferable skills which are valued highly by employers.

In addition, you will also explore the skills required to be a counsellor, the use of theory in a counselling context, humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, and will have an introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) which means that on successful completion of your degree you will be eligible for graduate based chartership (GBC) of the BPS.
