Course summary
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Topics we cover include how babies learn, the way in which people's mental skills change as they grow older, personality types, and social group dynamics. You will also study different psychological disorders.
You will also learn how to think critically and to solve problems. We will teach you to analyse data, write clearly and effectively, and be a confident communicator of science. You will learn how to plan, implement, and analyse your own research project.
At Levels 1 and 2 you’ll also study additional humanities or social science subjects, such as English, History, Geography, or Politics.
Our student-run Psychology Society organises social events, study skills sessions, and a range of academic and career-oriented talks.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
Achieving a strong set of qualifications is key to earning a place at the University. We understand grades are influenced by things outside your control, such as the impact of deprivation where you live. That’s why each year we look at each student's application in detail including circumstances outside of your control that may have impacted your potential.
