Course detail & modules
This course will cover a number of important areas in psychology. From the start, you will not only develop your knowledge of basic principles, but also have the chance to explore topics in which you have a particular interest.

Your exploration will be aided by our lecturers, many of whom are involved in research. Their specialisms cover fascinating and evolving areas, such as cyber-bullying, binge drinking and honour-based violence. You will also have opportunities to learn from the experiences of practising psychologists who we will invite as guest speakers.
