Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology
This four-year, level 8 degree provides graduates with a broad and comprehensive foundation in Psychology—the study of human behaviour and the mind.
We will examine a diversity of interesting questions at the core of psychological research, such as:
Why does conflict happen, and how can we build positive relationships?
How do children learn language?
How do prejudices develop?
How can we improve our decision making?
How can individuals with psychological diagnoses be supported?
How does the brain process and store memories?
You will focus on psychology throughout the entirety of your degree, giving you a strong foundation that will pave the way for your future in the discipline.
A major attribute of this programme is the work placement in Year 3, which provides you with hands on experience of the application of psychology.
In Year 4, students complete a research project in their chosen area of interest – integrating knowledge gained across the 4 years.
