What is Psychology?
Have you ever wondered why people behave in a certain way? Why do our memories sometimes fail us? How do we learn things? How people act, react and interact? All these questions and more can be answered by studying BSc (Hons) Psychology within the Division of Psychology at Glyndŵr University.
This programme is accredited by the BPS as conferring eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Society with the Graduate Basis for Registration provided the minimum standard of qualification of second class honours is achieved. This is a first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist.
Psychology is the study of the human mind and behaviour, and the thoughts, feelings, and motivation essential to that behavior. The scientific nature of psychology is emphasised throughout the programme, with specific modules related to individual, interpersonal and group processes (e.g. social psychology, developmental psychology, individual differences, cognitive psychology and psychobiology).
