100% small group teaching
Weekly one-on-one tutoring for individualised feedback and guidance
Frequent evaluations to track your progress throughout the year and ensure your success at the final exams
Induction programme where you will better understand your learning style and adopt the most relevant learning methods for you

Apply a critical understanding of essential concepts, principles and research in psychology,
and critically evaluate the results, in the context of loosely defined scenarios, using structured
arguments based in empirical evidence
Demonstrate the ability to exercise critical judgement in the evaluation of research in the field
Demonstrate the ability to produce a substantial piece of original or empirical research work including, for example, study design, data collection, analysis and reporting.

A BSc Psychology opens up opportunities to careers in a range of sectors such as education, healthcare, industry, and the legal system. Your degree could be a first step to becoming a clinical, health, counselling, forensic or organisational psychologist. Studies in the behavioural sciences are increasingly leading to more innovative roles with social impact, e.g. contributing to the design of interventions across health, personal finances and education, in addition to policy making to improve public services.
