Psychology with International Foundation Year

About this course

Psychology is the scientific study of how people think, feel, behave and relate to one another and to the world around them. It is a discipline with strong empirical foundations, requiring careful experimental design, statistical analysis and critical engagement with evidence alongside the theoretical frameworks that help make sense of human experience. At the University of Reading this four-year programme, which includes an international foundation year, provides a supported route into psychology for international students whose academic background or previous study context requires an additional year of preparation before the main degree begins. The international foundation year develops the English language skills, academic study habits and subject knowledge needed to succeed in a psychology degree at Reading, giving you a robust and well-supported transition into the main programme.
