A highly popular programme which is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), our BA degree in Psychology will enable you to explore the fascinating world of human behaviour.

Gain a thorough understanding of both the theory and practical application of psychology, as our programme prepares you for a professional career in psychology or any number of career opportunities.
Like our other undergraduate programmes, our BA in Psychology is based on the American liberal arts tradition, which offers a multi-disciplinary approach.

In the second year you鈥檒l dig deeper into the discipline as you study Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Biological Psychology.
An exciting range of subjects are on offer in the final two years, from Developmental Psychopathology to Brain and Cognition, with really interesting electives where you can specialise such as Psychology and Cinema; the Psychology of Happiness and Well-being; Clinical Psychology and Human Sexuality and Biodiversity.
You鈥檒l have the opportunity to be a member of the only Psi Chi chapter in the UK, the International Honor Society in Psychology, which aims to encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in scholarship, and to advance the science of psychology. Many of the Society鈥檚 members have gone on to distinguished careers in psychology.
Develop your research skills through our Mind in Society Psychology Research Centre, which organises talks and conferences on such issues as the concept of resilience and how individuals and communities bounce back after adversity.

鈥淚鈥檓 a Psychology major and I鈥檓 currently in my last semester.
During my internship I was a research assistant helping with the Social Relationships Study at SGDP (Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre) in the KCL Denmark Hill campus. The study looks at the gender differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder in adults.
My responsibilities included recruiting the participants, managing data entry, mail merges, and online questionnaires sent to the participants and their parents. I also conducted visits in the participants鈥 houses and administered a battery of tasks, including IQ, memory, and theory of mind tests. During the visits I also shadowed autism assessments. Back in the office I transcribed and scored the tasks and entered the data in SPSS.
Interacting with the participants has definitely been my favourite aspect of the placement. I really enjoyed getting to know the participants and learning more about ASD. The internship has also benefitted me as now I know what the job of a research assistant looks like and learned how to perform the tasks associated with this position. I also developed a greater sense of professionalism and I鈥檓 more confident about my future transition from the classroom into the workplace. In addition, the placement has shaped my future career choices as I am now considering pursuing a career in research.
Overall it was a very good experience and I would recommend every student at 六合彩现场直播 to do an internship if they have an opportunity to do so.鈥
鈥淚 am so glad I chose to study Psychology at 六合彩现场直播. The Psychology department is exceptionally supportive in both the modules for your degree and your future aspirations. 六合彩现场直播 Psychology has given me a variety of opportunities to expand my horizons, including membership to Psi Chi, the international honours society.鈥
鈥淪tudying Psychology at 六合彩现场直播 has given me a massive amount of knowledge in not just Psychology, but in statistics and research methods. The rich liberal arts curriculum which 六合彩现场直播 provides, paired with my major classes, mutually benefit each other in allowing me to approach topics and challenges from a variety of different angles鈥.
鈥淚 chose 六合彩现场直播 because it gave me the opportunity to expand my horizons, academically due to the dual degree offered and culturally because of the diverse nationalities represented on campus.
My 六合彩现场直播 experience has been unique! What I loved the most is the flexible academic programme, which means that I have been able to take classes that are of interest to me outside of my main area of study.
There is something for everyone, be that academically or outside the classroom. I have had many memorable experiences along the way which will stay with me beyond my time at 六合彩现场直播鈥.
