Bachelor in Psychology (BSc) - Abertay University (Dundee)

Psychology is the scientific study of the most complex machine imaginable: the human mind. On the Bachelor in Psychology (BSc) at Abertay, students will study the science behind human behaviour, and tailor their studies to suit their interests on this flexible degree.

They will explore how actions, interactions, thoughts and feelings trigger our behaviours. Then they can put their learning into practice with an optional work placement, discovering how theory applies to real-life situations. This means they develop a wide breadth of expertise and skills. Students will graduate with a deep understanding of how psychology impacts our everyday life and a set of valuable transferable skills.

This Bachelor in Psychology (BSc) is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
