Course summary
The MA (Hons) in Psychology will introduce you to the full range of areas that are studied by psychologists, including perception, cognition, motivation and behaviour. You will be grounded in the theoretical foundations and modern developments of contemporary psychology, and emphasis is placed on practical classes and on learning research techniques right from the start.The MA (Hons) in Psychology is a four-year course run by the School of Psychology and Neuroscience. The School also offers a BSc in Psychology, which may be more suitable for students who wish to take Psychology alongside Science subjects. The Psychology element within both the BSc and MA degree programmes is exactly the same. Your first two years of study provide an introduction to a variety of subjects which make up contemporary psychology as well as a thorough grounding in the empirical basis of psychology.Alongside Psychology, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study an additional two subjects within the Faculty of Arts. In the second year, you will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two.
