Psychology is the scientific study of the mind, brain, and behaviour. It focuses on building and testing theories to help explain how people interact with each other and the world around them. It is an experimental and observational science. It uses evidence from research studies to develop and evaluate theories.
The Bachelor in Psychology (BSc) program at The University of Edinburgh has a strong emphasis on developing skills in research methods and statistical analysis using R programming. This supports the university's research-led teaching.
This program is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
