Университет Восточной Англии, BSc, Cognitive Psychology

The BSc Cognitive Psychology degree is ideal for students interested in a career in business, entrepreneurship or working with children, or if you plan to go on to postgraduate study in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, clinical psychology, business or computer science.

Accredited by the British Psychological Society, this degree will provide you with a rigorous approach to psychology, with focus on topics related to cognitive psychology, including neuroscience, biological psychology, linguistics, and FRMI and EEG research techniques. In addition to gaining a strong grounding in key theories and research methods, you will also have the chance to study Psychology and Risk, Psychology of Language, Social Cognition and Social Identity, Mind, Brain, and Personality, Brain and Behaviour and Social and Affective Neuroscience.

The core areas of psychology, giving you exposure to a range of theoretical ideas and research evidence from a variety of fields, include:

• developmental psychology
• social psychology       
• cognitive psychology
• biological psychology
• the study of personality and individual differences.

Our approach reflects the growing consensus within the field that human behaviour is best understood as the interaction of nature and nurture, biology and culture, and genes and environment.

We encourage the bridging of conventional disciplinary boundaries, enabling you to explore and analyse the complex psychological processes found in contemporary life. Throughout this course you will be able to develop your own psychological understanding, integrating ideas from the diverse range of behavioural and social theories you will encounter. You will learn to relate psychological theories to real world experience and activities, and explore how psychological scholarship and research can be used in practical situations.
