Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Psychology (Placement Year) (C804)

Psychology is an exciting subject to study as we are still looking for answers to questions about the human mind and consciousness. At Brunel, students will have the chance to immerse themselves in the accepted theories of psychology as well as the latest research that is expanding our knowledge.

This Psychology degree is accredited by The British Psychological Society and can be studied full-time over three years. Brunel also offers it as a four year course which is unique in offering two six-month work placements or students can carry out a one year placement within a single environment.

Work experience while studying is a great asset, whether students choose to continue their studies in psychology or seek employment. Students will know what it’s like to apply their skills in the workplace, which builds confidence and is attractive to employers. Recent placements have included the Institute of Psychiatry, Royal Free Hospital and Holloway Prison.

As an accredited course, students that graduate with a 2:2 grade or higher (including passing their dissertation research project), will be eligible to apply for graduate membership of the British Psychological Society. Membership will be key for those who choose to pursue postgraduate training to become a psychologist.
