BSc(Hons) Psychology: University of the West of England

Introduction

The BSc(Hons) Psychology degree is a three year full-time course. It has been designed to give a thorough understanding of Psychology, its theories, applications and the wide variety of research approaches to the study of human thought, action and behaviour.

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society and the degree confers the Graduate Basis for Registration with the Society.

Careers/further study

Right from the start, the issues of careers and employability are seen as a priority. Although, according to BPS national figures, on average only around 15 per cent of graduates will go on to become professional psychologists, an honours degree in Psychology enables the acquisition of a strong blend of knowledge, skills and expertise which can potentially confer significant advantages in the job market.

All students take part in the UWE Graduate Development Programme which is an integral part of the degree course. This is intended to help you recognise and develop the key skills you will need for success in your studies and in your careers.
