Course summary


Overview

Psychology is the science of human behaviour and how the human mind works. You’ll learn to understand how nature and nurture, biology and culture, and genes and the environment determine human thoughts, feelings and behaviours. You’ll explore a range of theoretical ideas and research evidence, learning to critically evaluate the latest psychological theories and develop ideas of your own. You’ll benefit from research-led teaching in a balance of small and larger groups. UEA’s School of Psychology has been ranked 14th overall for research quality in Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience in the Times Higher Education REF 2021 Analysis. Throughout your Psychology degree, you’ll be supported by your academic advisor, as well as having access to the University’s Learning Enhancement and Wellbeing Teams. To prepare you for your studies and ease you into university life, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a four-week pre-arrival module. Your BSc Psychology with a Placement Year degree will bridge disciplinary boundaries, taking theories from the behavioural and social sciences and using them to shed light on real-world, practical situations. You’ll learn about both qualitative and quantitative approaches to research. You’ll be able to choose from a range of psychology modules and have the chance to experience topics you may not have come across before. If you discover a new passion or interest during your first year, you’ll have the option to change to a different Psychology pathway, ensuring you’re on the right degree for you. In your third year, you'll have the opportunity to get hands-on experience, build contacts, and explore potential roles and career routes by spending a year on a work-based placement. In your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate all you’ve learned by implementing an individual research project of your own. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of human psychology and develop a range of key skills valued by employers. We offer a range of career planning support, including a business training event and competitive paid placement and internship opportunities. Our graduates pursue a range of careers, including human resources, teaching, media, research, communications, marketing and management, healthcare and criminal justice, as well as going on to postgraduate study.
