Psychology BA (Hons)

Psychology is about people – the study of the human mind and behaviour. As such, psychology graduates are well sought after in many workplaces.

The first year of your course is delivered in smaller classes at Salford City College before you transition to the University of Salford main campus for years two and three of study. Find out more about the benefits of studying at a partner college here.

You will:

Learn about the core areas of psychology; biological, cognitive, developmental, social and individual differences
Learn to be a critical thinker, able to consider a problem, develop a research plan and execute that plan
Be able to choose from optional modules, allowing you to explore areas of particular interest to you.

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) – if you achieve a lower second class degree or above, Graduate Basis for Registration is awarded. This is the first step to becoming a chartered psychologist.

You will initially be introduced to the key areas of psychology, then explore these in detail at year two, then in year three, you have optional modules in which you can explore areas of interest to you.
