Psychology

We’re fascinated by the interaction between mind and behaviour, the nature of unconscious, the functioning of memory, and the behaviour of individuals in social situations. The mind is an endlessly engrossing subject for study.

We provide you with a thorough grounding in each of the major fields, including social psychology, developmental psychology, biological psychology and cognitive psychology. We also offer a range of joint routes with Criminology, Sociology, Business Management and Early Childhood Studies, so that you can choose the degree that is perfect for you.
