Psychology (Mental Health) - BSc (Hons)

Nottingham Trent University

This engaging British Psychology Society (BPS) accredited Psychology (Mental Health) degree is focused on the theories and treatment of psychopathologies including trauma, psychosis and addictive behaviours. The course covers all the core areas of Psychology stipulated by the BPS curriculum. This includes the workings of the brain; the processes and mechanisms of human thinking, feeling and behaviour; and how psychologists, psychological research and therapy can make a tangible and positive difference to people’s lives and society. You'll also consider how all of these impact and relate to mental health.

Our teaching is delivered by scholars who are recognised as world-leading as evidenced by the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF).
