You will gain a critical appreciation of different theoretical perspectives and extensive training in research methods and project work. In your first year you'll gain an understanding of basic concepts, methods and theories in psychology including individual differences, biological, cognitive, developmental and social psychology and their applications. In your second year you'll advance your knowledge in the core areas of psychology, such as cognitive neuroscience, social psychology and developmental psychology. You'll extend your research methods skills and project work. In your final year you’ll complete a research project and choose from a wide range of optional units relating to the current research expertise of academic staff.
