Course summary
Studying psychology with modern history will give you a varied choice of modules to study. Modern history deals with topics such as Victorian society and Russia, while psychology unpicks the human mind and seeks to explore why humans behave the way they do. This degree will give you a broad range of transferable skills and a knowledge of diverse topics - from data analysis to colonialism. Our two-year fast-track degrees are awarded by the University of Surrey. They have been created so that you can:
- Start your career or masters course a year sooner
- Save money by paying for just two years’ tuition fees
- Save money on the costs associated with being a student
- Based at Farnborough College of Technology, we offer classroom-based lectures, a small campus experience and plenty of personalised support. This makes us a popular choice locally for those who want to study higher education in a down-to-earth setting – where you won’t get lost in the crowd.
