Psychology, BA (Hons)

About Psychology, BA (Hons) - at Richmond, The American International University in London

Richmond is a unique university in which to study Humanities and Social Sciences. When our students arrive in London, they have many questions which relate to issues of identity, culture, language, religion, society, citizenship, history and consumption - all of which Richmond’s Department of Humanities and Social Sciences addresses in its undergraduate programs.

The Psychology major familiarizes students with the main theoretical approaches and content areas of contemporary psychology. It provides perspective to a wide range of courses, including social, developmental and experimental psychology, and the study of personality. The Program prepares students for graduate work, counseling, child guidance, teaching and other educational and management careers.

In addition to completing a degree in Psychology, students may also complete the requirements for the Certificate in Psychology and Counseling at the same time. The certificate is a preprofessional qualification which will allow graduates easier access into professional training programs in the fields of counseling and psychotherapy. Our students often comment on the ready availability of our faculty. Average classes at Richmond are both much smaller and much more ethnically diverse than at most other universities. With a typical Junior or Senior level class size of between ten to twenty students, we emphasize individual attention, small group work, student participation, personal research paper writing and seminar-style discussion.
