Course summary

This Psychology programme engages students with academic knowledge and practical skills required by graduates in modern society. Our dedicated laboratory and teaching spaces at the Swansea SA1 campus provide an excellent learning environment. The focus on doing, rather than simply learning about psychology also provides a truly unique skillset, guided by an expert team of academic psychologists through an innovative blend of traditional lectures, practical workshops, and small group tutorials. Throughout the course you will explore links between psychological theory, research, ethics, and practice, and focus on producing scientific understanding of links between the mind, brain, and behaviour. You will experience how we can try to influence these processes to improve individual, organisational, and societal health and wellbeing. You will have regular opportunity to discuss and debate cutting edge research and real-world applications of psychology with fellow students and tutors. The development of team-working skills and independent learning are supported throughout the degree, along with developing strong critical thinking, writing, analytical and problem-solving skills, plus other transferable skills considered desirable by employers and post-graduate courses.
