You’ll explore how actions, interactions, thoughts and feelings trigger our behaviours. Then you can put your learning into practice with an optional work placement, discovering how theory applies to real-life situations. This means you develop a wide breadth of expertise and skills. You’ll graduate with a deep understanding of how psychology impacts our everyday life and a set of valuable transferable skills.You'll learn:- How we understand, think and learn about the world around us.- How memory is formed and what impacts on the way we remember.- How everyone uses verbal and non-verbal forms of communication.- How biological and social factors influence behaviour.- How cognition, emotion and socialisation develop across our lifespan.Psychology is both an experimental and observational science. This means you will observe and measure human behaviour, tackle literature searches, then develop, test, and evaluate theories. This culminates in designing and conducting your own supervised research project in your final year, which is one of the cornerstones of your degree.
This degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS)and its core areas follow the curriculum set out by the BPS. This is essential if you want to become a Chartered Psychologist and means successful graduates can apply for further professional training.
Psychology degrees here at Abertay are flexible. You can switch to another 'Psychology with' pathway if you develop an interest in a particular topic later.
No other Scottish university is offering these flexible undergraduate degree pathways in psychology. We believe this gives you a distinct edge when it comes to applying for postgraduate study or employment. This course is in the
UK Top 10 for Course Satisfaction in the 2023 Guardian University Guide.
