Course Details

Have you successfully achieved a Foundation Degree or HND in a psychology related subject? Take this one-year top-up and leave us with a full degree and an increased understanding of social, developmental, clinical, cognitive and physiological psychology. You can choose to study psychology or psychology with sociology and you’ll graduate equipped to carve out your future in anything from professional psychology to marketing and management.

You will maximise your learning with a personal tutor assigned throughout your studies to provide the support and guidance you need to get the most out of your course. You’ll immerse yourself in an innovative and imaginative curriculum continually shaped by the latest developments in psychological research. You'll also be able to get your hands on everything you need for your own research. As this is a 'top-up' course for FdSc graduates only, it is not available during Clearing.
