Course summary
The innovators of the 21st century will think across arts, science, engineering, humanities and enterprise to deliver innovative products, services and ways of living. They will be team players with a breadth of skills and qualities that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures.
This course combines in-depth subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside interdisciplinary, practice-based learning. In conjunction with your psychology studies, you will apply your subject knowledge by translating ideas into innovative solutions, which may include plans for digital and creative enterprises, both social and commercial.
You will learn about social, cognitive, developmental, biological and individual differences in psychology, as well as your choice of a range of more specialised topic areas (for example: drug use and addiction, nutrition and behaviour). You will develop an in-depth understanding of the research that underpins psychological theories in these domains. You will learn about the application of psychological theories and methods to effect change in the real world. The degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society and provides you with a pathway to becoming a professional psychologist.
Group work is a core component of teaching and learning in innovation. You will come together with students from other innovation disciplines, such as geography, computer science and theatre. Each subject contributes a different perspective on a challenge as you identify needs and develop ideas. By drawing on your unique ideas and views on the world, you will learn from your subject and other students to develop innovative solutions together. You will also develop personal skills with opportunities for individual development and pursuit of topics and projects driven by your own interests and values.
By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services, and how to sustain new endeavours including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you through your studies.
