BSc (Hons) Cyberpsychology (with Foundation Year option)

This emerging new field investigates how technology influences the behavior of individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. This includes education, entertainment, social media, and cyber security, among other things. Develop a thorough understanding of all aspects of psychology.
Learn a variety of research skills and methods for investigating traditional and online behavior, and then apply what you've learned in a variety of contexts, including your own independent research.
