UndergraduateCourse summary
Our single honours Psychology degree (accredited by the British Psychological Society) engages students with the academic knowledge and practical skills required by graduates in modern society. Our new laboratory and teaching spaces in the Swansea SA1 campus provide an excellent learning environment, and the focus on both learning and doing provides our graduates with a truly unique skillset, guided by an expert team of academic psychologists in small group environments. The programme has a strong focus upon the application of psychological knowledge to understanding real-life situations, and students will develop a critical understanding of how psychological theories can be used to improve individual, organisational, and societal health. The programme is delivered through an innovative blend of traditional lectures, practical workshops, and small seminar group work, providing students with regular opportunity to discuss and debate cutting edge research and real world applications of psychology with fellow students and tutors.
