BA Psychology
About this course
Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour, a discipline that asks why people think, feel, and act as they do and investigates those questions with the methods of careful observation, controlled experiment, and statistical analysis. It spans an extraordinary range of territory, from the neural mechanisms of perception and memory to the social forces that shape identity, prejudice, and group behaviour. Studying psychology develops both scientific rigour and genuine human insight, and the questions it raises about consciousness, motivation, and well-being are among the most compelling in all of academic life. This three-year, full-time programme at Regent's University London includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study psychology in a different academic and cultural environment and to encounter approaches and perspectives that enrich your understanding of the discipline. You will explore the major branches of psychology, including biological, cognitive, social, developmental, and abnormal psychology, developing research skills in design, data collection, and statistical analysis alongside your theoretical understanding. The international dimension of the programme reflects the discipline's global reach and the value of understanding human behaviour across cultural contexts. Psychology graduates move into careers across a very wide range of fields. Routes into professional psychology, whether clinical, educational, forensic, health, or occupational, typically require further postgraduate training after the undergraduate degree. Beyond the psychological professions, graduates work in human resources, marketing, healthcare, social care, research, counselling support, public policy, and education. The analytical and interpersonal skills that the degree develops are broadly applicable, and the international experience of the year abroad adds a further dimension of professional and personal development that many employers value.
