BSc (Hons) Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists are interested in how people think, act and interact. Psychology applies sound scientific methodology to understand why people act the way that they do. This knowledge and understanding can then be used to address real-world issues.
During this degree you will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of fascinating areas from how we think and how we see other people, to how people develop, how relationships are formed, and how we can help people in distress.
Psychology is useful because no matter what you intend to do in life it will involve trying to understand and help other people. Studying Psychology at Birmingham Newman University provides you with a solid grounding in all core areas of psychology, but you’ll also gain specialist knowledge of how psychology is applied to the real world.
