Psychology

Queen Mary University of London’s Psychology BSc offers insights into human behaviour and mental health. Build research skills for careers in psychology or education. Psychology gives us valuable insight into many areas of life – from human behaviour in the classroom to animal cognition.

Take a rigorous, biological approach to psychology, studying it as a natural and experimental science. Our programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society, a mark of quality that employers understand and value . It also means you ’ ll be able to continue to certain clinical postgraduate programmes.

Cognitive psychology, language acquisition, consciousness and causality are just a few of the areas you ’ ll cover. You ’ ll also integrate biological approaches by studying animal behaviour and cognition, as well as mammals and evolution. When you ’ re not in the lecture theatre, you ’ ll be learning how to carry out your own research in top facilities including our EEG lab.

Our team are carrying out research on the cause of mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression, the mental lives of bees and the impact of opt-in organ donation. Perhaps you ’ ve already seen them on the news commenting on topics such as decision-making behind lockdowns.
