Year Two Students are offered courses in different perspectives within the discipline of psychology. Year Three Students have the opportunity to continue their studies in different aspects of psychology by taking one, two or three courses depending on whether they wish to study psychology as a minor, joint or major component of their degree. In year three there is also the possibility for students to undertake their own individual studies in an area of psychology covered by one of the taught courses. Entry Requirements Successful applicants will normally be expected to have two A-levels at grade C or above or an equivalent qualification. Whilst an A level in psychology is desirable, it is not essential.
Applications are welcome from students via Access routes or from non standard backgrounds.
The skills that psychology students develop in respect both of studying human behaviour and engaging in empirical research, means that they have much to offer potential employers. Many psychology graduates find employment in the caring professions, the field of business and management and other people focused occupations. Students wishing to pursue careers in psychology will normally be required to complete a conversion course before beginning their professional training.
