Introduction

Are you interested in how children learn, offending behaviour, mental health, and want to gain an understanding of the processes and mechanisms that underpin human behaviour and experience? 

The BSc (Hons) Applied Psychology is designed to help students develop an understanding of the theories that inform care and education service provision and will enhance their practice and career progression. The course is aimed at those with an interest in human development and behaviour, and who may be working in settings where they support children and/or adults.

Students learn to investigate questions, exploring contemporary issues centred on people’s lives. They acquire the skills necessary to apply theory and research to the real world, giving them the context needed to put their skills to use in the workplace. Students are required to attend two days per week during term time with additional learning activities provided online.
