Course Description
The BSc Psychology undergraduate degree, accredited by the British Psychological Society, adopts a psychological perspective which is enriched by interdisciplinary influences. This approach reflects the growing consensus that human behaviour is best understood as the interaction of nature and nurture, biology and culture, genes and environment. The identity of the programme parallels the emergence of psychology as a robust scientific enterprise, and an applied endeavour within the context of an increasingly psychologically literate public.The programme has a central core of psychology, introducing a range of theoretical ideas and research evidence from fields such as developmental psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, biological psychology and the study of personality and individual differences. We encourage the bridging of conventional disciplinary boundaries to promote explanation of complex processes in contemporary life. We expect our students to develop their own psychological understanding by assimilating ideas from the diverse behavioural and social theories which structure the subject of psychology. We also encourage students to comprehend how psychological theories throw light on real world experience and activities, and explore how psychological scholarship and research can be used in practical situations.
