This course is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in psychology, who do not have a first degree in the subject. It will give you the breadth of knowledge you need, while enabling you to explore your interests in greater depth. It is accredited by the British Psychological Society.

In the School of Psychology, we are transforming lives and shaping the future with our teaching and research. Our work has real-world impact. For example, our research is contributing to better treatment of autistic people in the criminal justice system, and greater understanding of why drivers often fail to see motorcyclists at junctions.

One of our greatest strengths is the breadth of topics we specialise in. This is reflected in our research areas, which include:

  • accident research

  • neuroscience

  • cognition and language

  • human development and learning

  • social psychology and health

This means we are able to offer a wide range of modules and research projects, giving you the opportunity to focus on your unique interests. You can also develop your own research project on a topic of your choice.

Our teaching has been given the highest rating of Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2018.

We have been ranked top 10 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2014). We have an annual research income of £1m from from research councils, the EU, Government, charities and companies.
