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.
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.
2:1 (or international equivalent) and a maths qualification equivalent to at least a grade 4 (C) at GCSE. Evidence of these qualifications will be required in your application.
Psychology graduates can find rewarding careers in clinical, health, educational, and occupational psychology, and criminology. Psychologists are also welcome in many other contexts, such as human resources, management and marketing.
Our graduates have gone on to work for organisations such as the UK Government, the NHS, and charities such as Headway and Rethink Mental Illness.
