Psychology with Development and Education

BSc (Hons) Psychology with Development and Education

This BPS-accredited degree is one of our new Psychology with pathways programmes. You’ll learn how children and adolescents develop, learn, reason, and socialise, and explore atypical development including neurodivergence.

The first two years of this degree help you dig deep into the science of psychology, learning the way humans think, feel and behave. In years three and four, you take more advanced options covering development and education in more depth.

You can switch to the BSc Psychology programme or another ‘Psychology with’ pathway if you develop an interest in a particular topic as the course progresses and have completed the relevant modules. See course page on website for full details.
