Psychology

About this course

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour, concerned with understanding how people think, feel, perceive, remember, decide and act, both as individuals and in social contexts. It is a discipline that spans an unusually wide range of methods, from controlled laboratory experiments to clinical observation, from neuroimaging to large-scale surveys, and addresses questions ranging from the molecular basis of memory to the social dynamics of group behaviour. Few subjects are as directly relevant to human experience and as demanding of both scientific rigour and interpretive sensitivity. At Royal Holloway, this three-year BSc programme explores aspects of psychology from perception to social interactions, developing insights into the complexities of human behaviour across the breadth of the discipline. You will study biological and cognitive psychology, developmental and social
