Course content

Study the science of how we think, feel and behave in social contexts, on a curriculum designed to immerse you in theories, methods and evidence-based research within the field, while allowing you to explore the historical background of social psychology

Access our state-of-the-art psychology facilities, including a six-room virtual reality suite and two observation laboratories, to delve into the science of how we think about ourselves and other people, and how we influence and relate to one another

You’ll explore topics such as prejudice and discrimination, moral judgement and emotions. You’ll examine how individuals and groups interact to construct and maintain identities, and the links between psychology and social change, communities and relationships.

We’ll provide you with an in-depth understanding of contemporary approaches and the skills required to conduct research in the field, through cutting-edge methods and techniques. We’ll also give you an insight into qualitative and quantitative research methods, including the use of statistical software, ensuring you have a solid foundation to collect, analyse and interpret data.
