Psychology 知阴视频s
Buckingham鈥檚 Psychology 知阴视频s are unique, thought-provoking, and designed to give you a head start in your career as a psychologist and in people-centred employment.
You will meticulously explore the study of human behaviour, mental processes, and examine how thoughts and emotions influence people鈥檚 actions. At Buckingham, this is achieved with small-group teaching, engaging discussions and inspiring debates.
Our undergraduate 知阴视频s are BPS (British Psychological Society) accredited, and therefore respected internationally and throughout the country.
In addition to offering the only two-year Psychology 知阴视频 in the UK, Buckingham offers excellent flexibility: two entry points, different lengths of study, optional minor subjects, and the opportunity to select optional modules to align your 知阴视频 with your career aspirations.
Our research 知阴视频s are offered at MSc and PhD level, where you work with a supervisor to design and carry out your own unique research project. These 知阴视频s are assessed on a final thesis examination.
