What it is

The curriculum is organised around four areas: mind and development through cognitive and developmental psychology, brain and behaviour through neuroscience, health and society through clinical and social psychology, and evidence and methods through quantitative research and data analysis. Teaching follows an active learning model of lectures, lab work and seminars with specialised teaching assistants, in small classes with close tutoring. Students who want a research route can join an honours track. The degree combines traditional and modern topics within a multidisciplinary framework, drawing on more than a century of psychology teaching and research at the university.
