Psychology with Foundation Year

About this course

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour, encompassing everything from the firing of neurons to the dynamics of crowds, from the development of infants to the treatment of mental illness. It is a discipline that sits at the boundary between the natural sciences and the humanities, using rigorous experimental and statistical methods to investigate questions that are fundamentally about the human experience. Studying psychology develops both a scientific way of thinking and a deep curiosity about why people think, feel, and act as they do.

The foundation year ensures you are well prepared for the demands of degree-level study, whichever starting point you come from. A
