Our Psychology with Human Biology programme at Keele offers the perfect blend of psychological theory and biological understanding. Your first year will provide a strong grounding in the fundamentals of both subjects. You'll dive into the core British Psychological Society curriculum — covering developmental, social, biological, and cognitive psychology—while exploring what makes each of us unique within these areas. You will also be introduced to research methods for psychology, including the philosophical underpinnings of qualitative and quantitative design, as well as data collection, data analysis, and report writing. This will enable you to draw meaningful conclusions about human thought and behaviour. You will also explore the core areas of human biology, physiology, and anatomy. These modules will also equip you with essential laboratory skills, providing a solid foundation for future work in bioscience. During your studies you will have access to a range of facilities and equipment, including virtual reality headsets, brain stimulation devices, and our state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories. We also make extensive use of our large and diverse campus environment for fieldwork in addition to numerous fieldwork visits off-campus.  As you progress through your degree, you'll have the opportunity to explore specialised topics that align with your interests ranging from child psychology and neurodiversity to human genetics and cancer biology. This comprehensive approach allows you to connect psychological principles with biological underpinnings and discover how these disciplines apply to countless real-world situations.
