PSYCHOLOGY
PSYCHOLOGY AT UEA HAS MADE ME THINK ABOUT WHAT IS NEXT FOR ME AND WHAT I’LL BE ABLE TO DO WITH EVERYTHING I’VE LEARNT. THERE’S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES. IT’S BEEN AMAZING! Ben – Psychology student
You will get to meet and work with respected psychologists and business leaders throughout your degree. We also offer a range of additional training opportunities than run in parallel with your degree programme. These are carefully designed to help maximise what you have to offer future employers. They include internships and our four-year placement degree. Our ‘Dragons’ Den’ residential course focuses on packaging psychological skills in a business context. OUR COURSES All our degrees share a common first year, during which you’ll be introduced to a full range of psychology topics, as well as key concepts in psychological research. This will give you a strong platform on which to build your psychological knowledge. You’ll also have the chance to experience topics you may not have come across before. If you’re on one of our three-year programmes and you discover a new passion or interest during your first year, you’ll have the option to change to a different three-year psychology degree and follow that new path, ensuring you’re on the right degree for you. All our degree courses are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). This means that not only are they respected by employers, it also puts you at an advantage if you choose to progress onto postgraduate study to become a psychologist. BSc PSYCHOLOGY Learn to understand human thoughts, feelings and behaviours on our BSc course. You’ll explore the interaction between nature and nurture, biology and culture, genes and the environment, and tackle specialist areas including mental health, developmental psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, biological psychology and personality. Our programme will challenge you to bridge disciplinary boundaries, applying behavioural and social science theories to real-world, practical situations. You will learn about both qualitative and quantitative approaches, from discourse analysis and quasi-experimental questionnaire design, through to neuroimaging techniques. In your third year, you’ll undertake experimental projects in our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, featuring a fully-immersive virtual reality suite, electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking and motion-tracking equipment. You’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate all you have learned by designing and implementing an individual research project of your own.
