Whilst studying Psychology, you will join a vibrant community where we will challenge you to think about all aspects of our mental lives and human behaviour. You will learn about the fundamental building blocks of human behaviour, and how Psychology can be applied to address many of the significant societal challenges that we face today.

In the first year of your course we will immerse you in a set of core modules, covering fundamental elements of psychology such as Psychological Research Methods and subject-related skills, including Memory, Development and Perception. You will discover the psychological and brain mechanisms supporting many of the key elements of what it is to be human, including the ability to learn, understand speech and perceive the world around us. You will also develop your skills as a researcher and collaborator by conducting psychological research projects in groups.

In your final year, you will be taught high-level specialist subject modules, allowing you to concentrate on themes such as Psychological Problems, Social Influence, Neuropsychology and Language. You will also complete an independent Research Project. Under the guidance of a supervisor, you will design a study in your chosen research area, analyse and interpret the data, and prepare a presentation and written report.

We offer a Psychology curriculum that covers the breadth of contemporary psychological theory, practice, essay and exam skills with our assessment objectives. Take a look into our Memory course booklet, Memory checklist and our Handbook that has exam questions for an insight into the theories and studies you will immerse yourself in at year 10.
