Course summary

Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental life - why people think, feel and act the way they do. Warwick's Psychology degree course has a strong practical focus. It provides a scientific understanding of all aspects of human behaviour and underlying research methods. Our graduates go on to pursue rewarding careers in Psychology and beyond. This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Our Psychology degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society, with an emphasis on practical work. You will cover a broad range of topics that reflect our research strengths but allow you the choice to draw in relevant optional modules from across the University, for example in business, biology, economics, sociology, philosophy or a language. We are widely recognised as one of the UK’s top research departments, and work closely with the NHS, the police and international bodies such as the United Nations. You will be taught by acclaimed academics whose enthusiasm for the subject is infectious and you will also have the opportunity to conduct a research project on an area of particular interest each year. Looking ahead, you will have access to a departmental careers consultant, who helps to organise events and practical sessions, and who can provide one-to-one guidance to help you decide what you want to do after graduation. We give you the opportunity to apply for an intercalated year between your second and final year at Warwick. This will either be abroad at a partner institution or may be a work placement you have sourced.
