Mathematics and Psychology

About this course

Mathematics and psychology is an unusual and genuinely powerful combination. Mathematics develops the capacity for rigorous abstract reasoning, quantitative analysis and the precise manipulation of formal systems. Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, engaging with perception, cognition, emotion, development, social interaction and mental health. What makes this pairing particularly strong is that psychology is a highly quantitative discipline, with statistical methods and formal modelling playing a central role in research, and a strong mathematical background deepens your capacity to engage with this dimension of the subject. At the University of Dundee, this four-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, providing the opportunity to study at a partner institution overseas and broaden your perspective on how both disciplines are practised interna
