The University of Bolton's BSc (Hons) Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience degree explores links between the human mind, behaviour and the biological structures and processes of the brain, offering you the opportunity to deepen and enrich your understanding of these interrelated fields. Focusing on human psychology, our expert and dedicated team will guide you to gain a sound understanding of mental and psychological processes and develop advanced knowledge of the neural, hormonal, and molecular structures and networks that underpin the mind.
This interdisciplinary course reflects the growing need for psychologists with a solid background in neuroscience. Knowledge of how the brain works can be vital to understanding mental processes. Throughout this degree, you'll have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the science and theories of psychology and neuroscience and gain a strong grounding in study and research methods. Together, we'll explore how the complex biological structures and networks of the brain shape and are shaped by our experiences.
With support from our department's dedicated, enthusiastic teaching staff and a technology-enriched learning environment, you'll investigate the interplay between mental and neural processes. We'll guide you as you develop your understanding of how the brain responds to and makes sense of the world. Furthermore, we'll and introduce you to the application of psychological and neuroscientific research techniques (for instance, electrophysiology and eye-tracker experiments). Interpersonal and transferable skills are vital, so we'll also challenge you to develop sought-after communication, problem-solving, numerical, analytical, self-management, and IT skills. Overall, our dedicated team will focus on helping you gain the skills employers value and a detailed understanding of psychology and neuroscience.
