Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour. It is a very diverse discipline and encompasses many aspects of human behaviour.
Students can also study psychology as part of a number of combined degrees.
When undertaking a Science, Arts, or Economics degree students study psychology alongside other subjects from these faculties, choosing to study one or two years of psychology or to go on to a third year and major in psychology. In most circumstances students also major in a second subject. Students who perform well enough may then progress to Honours.
