Psychology with a Year Abroad at University of East Anglia UEA - UCAS

Course summary

Overview Psychology is the science of human behaviour and how the human mind works. You’ll learn to understand how nature and nurture, biology and culture, and genes and the environment determine human thoughts, feelings and behaviours. You’ll explore a range of theoretical ideas and research evidence, learning to critically evaluate the latest psychological theories and develop ideas of your own. You’ll benefit from research-led teaching in a balance of small and larger groups. UEA’s School of Psychology has been ranked 14th overall for research quality in Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience in the Times Higher Education REF 2021 Analysis. Throughout your time here, you’ll be supported by your individual academic advisor, as well as having access to the University’s Learning Enhancement and Wellbeing Teams. Your course will bridge disciplinary boundaries, taking theories from the behavioural and social sciences and using them to shed light on real-world, practical situations. You’ll learn about both qualitative and quantitative approaches to research. You’ll be able to choose from a range of psychology modules and have the chance to experience topics you may not have come across before. If you discover a new passion or interest during your first year, you’ll have the option to change to a different Psychology pathway, ensuring you’re on the right degree for you. You'll spend your third year abroad, studying psychology or other related disciplines. A year abroad is a unique, fulfilling experience that will help you develop skills that you’ll use throughout your career, and that are coveted by employers. You can choose from a broad range of partner universities across Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. For further details, visit our Study Abroad section of our website. In your final year, you’ll enjoy access to our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including a fully immersive virtual reality suite, eye-tracking and motion-tracking equipment. You’ll also have the opportunity to demonstrate all you’ve learned by implementing an individual research project of your own. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of human psychology and develop a range of key skills valued by employers. We offer a range of career planning support, including a business training event and competitive paid placement and internship opportunities. Our graduates pursue a range of careers, including human resources, teaching, media, research, communications, marketing and management, healthcare and criminal justice, as well as going on to postgraduate study.
