Psychology

About this course

Psychology is the scientific study of how people think, feel, and behave, as individuals, in groups, and within their wider social and cultural contexts. It is a discipline that combines empirical rigour with a genuine engagement with the complexity of human experience, drawing on biological, cognitive, developmental, social, and clinical perspectives to build a comprehensive picture of the mind and its workings. A psychology degree is both intellectually demanding and personally illuminating, and the skills it develops in research, analysis, and communication are valued widely across professions. The four-year BSc Psychology at Birkbeck College is accredited by the British Psychological Society, and provides a comprehensive grounding in psychology across its major sub-disciplines, including biological psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology.
