Program Overview

You will develop a good knowledge of the influences on, and factors involved in, human functioning in all the core areas of psychology:

  • Biological foundations
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Individual Differences
  • Neuropsychological basis
  • Research methods

You will also develop detailed knowledge of several specialised areas through option modules, including knowledge of research paradigms, methods and measurement techniques, real-life applications of theory to behaviour and experience, and how behaviour and experience can be affected by physical and mental illness. This knowledge will be backed up by subject-based practical skills such as the ability to design and conduct research, to analyse and interpret quantitative and qualitative data, and awareness of ethical issues and principles in research on human behaviour.

Key to many careers and employers - you will also develop thinking skills, including analysis and interpretation of evidence, scientific reasoning, critical thinking, and appreciation of multiple perspectives and approaches. Furthermore, other skills for life and work including communications, computer literacy (including computerised statistical software), interpersonal and group-work skills, numeracy and statistical competence, self-knowledge and reflexivity, and planning and time-management (under the broad knowledge base of 'mental wealth').
