Course summary

The innovators of the 21st century will think across arts, science, engineering, humanities and enterprise to deliver innovative products, services and ways of living. They will be team players with a breadth of skills and qualities that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures. This course combines in-depth subject specialism in psychology with interdisciplinary breadth, creative teamwork and entrepreneurial skills. In conjunction with your psychology studies, you will apply your subject knowledge by translating ideas into innovative solutions which may include plans for digital and creative enterprises, both social and commercial. The course will equip you to use the critical, theoretical and practical skills central to psychology, allowing you to develop your knowledge and skills across a range of areas as you proceed through the course. It emphasises the experimental study of the mind and we want our students to share a sense of fun and adventure in psychological science. Our staff are experts who are enthusiastic about teaching students the latest developments in the field based on the cutting-edge research that they are conducting. You will come together with students from other innovation disciplines, such as geography, film and television and history. Each subject contributes a different perspective on a challenge as you identify needs and develop ideas. By drawing on your unique ideas and views on the world, you will learn from your subject and other students to develop innovative solutions together. By the time you graduate you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of your product or service and how to finance it, and you will have a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you along the way.
