Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Psychology with Year Abroad

Program Overview

This BPS-accredited Psychology BSc degree covers the full breadth of the field of psychology in combination with the unique experience of studying one year abroad.

In the first two years of your degree we will immerse you in a set of core modules, covering fundamental elements of psychology as well as psychological research methods and subject-related skills, including coding, public engagement, digital skills and entrepreneurship. You will discover the psychological and brain mechanisms supporting many of the key elements of what it is to be human, including the ability to learn, understand speech and perceive the world around us. You will also develop your skills as a researcher and collaborator by conducting psychological research projects in groups.

Between your second and final year in Birmingham, you will take a year abroad to expand your horizons and develop your skills and experiences in a global environment. You select your own placement at any non-UK university approved by the International Relations Office. Recent destinations include the USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.

In your final year, you will choose high-level specialist subject modules, allowing you to concentrate on the themes and topics that interest you most. You will also complete an independent Research Project. Under the guidance of a supervisor, you will design a study in your chosen research area, analyse and interpret the data, and prepare a presentation and written report. This is a substantial piece of work that allows you to develop in-depth knowledge of a specific sub-field of psychology.

The Psychology BSc with Year Abroad will provide you with a broad knowledge of contemporary psychology and with the opportunity to specialise in the topics that interest you most.
