The Psychology BSc (Hons) at the University of Northumbria Newcastle offers you a comprehensive exploration into the fascinating study of human behaviour and the mind. This undergraduate degree is ideal if you are driven by curiosity about why people think, feel, and act the way they do, and if you wish to develop a strong foundation in psychological research methodologies and core theories. You will engage with key areas such as psychobiology, cognition, social and developmental psychology, and psychopathology, preparing you for a deeper understanding of human nature and mental health.
This full-time, three-year on-campus programme immerses you in both theoretical learning and practical application, including core laboratory experience and quantitative and qualitative research methods. You will have the opportunity to delve into specialised areas through optional modules, and in your final year, you will undertake a significant Psychology Project, allowing you to investigate a topic of personal interest in depth. Graduates typically pursue careers in mental health, research, education, or further postgraduate study, often meeting the requirements for Graduate Basis for Chartered membership of the British Psychological Society.
