Psychology

About this course

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour, asking how we perceive the world around us, how memory, attention, and language work, how emotions and motivations drive action, how we develop across the lifespan, and how social and cultural contexts shape who we are. It is one of the most popular and intellectually diverse of the social sciences, combining the methods of natural science with questions that have occupied philosophers for centuries. Studying psychology trains you to evaluate evidence critically, to design and interpret research, and to apply scientific thinking to human experience. At Sussex you will study in one of the UK's largest schools of psychology, with a programme that spans the breadth of the discipline while connecting you to academics who are leading researchers in the areas they teach. The degree includes a foundation year for those who need addition
