Psychology - UCLan

Psychology is a very popular subject and courses are in high demand. The study of how and why we think, feel and behave is fascinating. Psychology is a scientific discipline and involves careful observation, information gathering, analysis, and report writing as well as reading, critical thinking and working as a member of a group. Some of our graduates will pursue a career in psychology by doing post-graduate training to become professional psychologists. However, the sorts of skills that the degree encourages make our graduates valuable employees in a range of occupations and professions that require graduate entry.

A feature of the Single Honours Programme is that from a common beginning, it divides into named routes: Psychology, Applied Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Neuropsychology and Sport Psychology, enabling specialisation as your skills and preferences develop. Our degree programme is well known for its specialist awards and for the wide range of specialist topics in Year 3.

Single Honours Psychology, Applied Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Neuropsychology and Sport Psychology and major professional route Combined Honours programmes are accredited by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Society with the Graduate Basis for Registration, provided a minimum standard of qualification of second class honours is achieved. This is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist. For those who want a career in Psychology, the department runs a number of postgraduate courses including MSc Forensic Psychology and MSc Health Psychology.
