It offers a comprehensive programme of learning across key areas in psychology with an opportunity to achieve a depth of understanding in more specialised areas. During years one and two the focus is upon biological, cognitive, developmental and social psychology as well as personality and individual differences and research methods. The final year involves an individual research project, conceptual issues and critical debates in psychology and various optional modules to suit individual interests and aspirations, for example,

    * Cognitive Neuropsychology
    * Counselling Psychology
    * Criminological & Forensic Psychology
    * Cultural Psychology and the Media

    * Psycholinguistics
    * Psychology & Education
    * The Self: Motivation and Evaluation
