Psychology is a fascinating subject that aims to understand why people behave in the way that they do, by considering the complex interplay between biological, psychological, environmental, cultural and social influences on behaviour.

This academic discipline encompasses a wide range of topics including: how changes in the brain influence behaviour, why false memories occur, why people behave differently when they are in a group, how language influences thinking, how we learn to understand others' intentions, how psychological distress can be alleviated, why we identify with some people and not others, how subconscious processes influence our behaviour, and how our thinking develops as we grow from children to adults.  

Studying Psychology at Aston University will provide you with the basis for understanding why people act in certain ways, and insight into methods of changing their behaviour.

By choosing to study at Aston you will gain a degree accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), and be taught by leading experts from a range of specialist psychological fields.

You will be taught a range of modules spanning the breadth of Psychology and the core components required by the British Psychological Society for the Graduate Basis for Chartership. You will learn about both qualitative and quantitative research designs utilising a range of methods including experiments, psychometric tools, and interviews.

In addition, you will complete a research project with the support of a supervisor. You have a choice of two pathways: health psychology-focused projects or research into cognitive and affective neuroscience.
