BSc (Hons) Psychology

Course Overview

Psychology covers a wide range of topics and captures the public imagination. We are all part of groups, organisations, relationships, and consequently an insight into the workings of human behaviour and motivation is of relevance and interest to us all. The Psychology BSc at SPCP offers a pathway to gaining an understanding of such processes.

How does memory work? How do people get to know each other and form friendships? What is considered beautiful and why? How and why do audiences engage with film and theatre performances? These are just some of the topics found within this new degree course.

This innovative syllabus approaches psychology from a more applied point of view, as well as covering the essential ‘nuts and bolts’ of human thought processes and actions.

Open Days

To find out more about the BSc (Hons) Psychology programme, we recommend that you attend one of our regular Undergraduate Open Days here at Regent's College.

Study Options

The programme is available in two variants:

• 3 Year BSc (Hons) Psychology
• 4 Year Integrated BSc (Hons) Psychology

The four year Integrated BSc includes a Foundation Year which is designed for those who do not meet the requirements for direct entry to the three year BSc. Or for those who have qualifications or relevant work experience but feel that after a prolonged absence from education they would benefit from a Foundation year to help them find their feet in an academic environment.

The Foundation year prepares students for the study of Psychology at degree level. Students successfully completing the Foundation programme move automatically onto the BSc if they wish to.

Careers

Psychology graduates acquire an impressive variety of skills and knowledge in effective communication, the ability to work in teams and a comprehensive understanding of human behaviour. 

These skills make graduates highly invaluable and employable across a range of professions like education, advertising, career counselling, health professions, human resources, management and social services.
