Liberal Arts Psychology BA Hons with Integrated Foundation

A liberal arts degree gives you the freedom to focus on the subjects that most interest you. You’ll concentrate on a major area of study while maintaining a breadth of learning spanning the arts, humanities and social sciences.  

Liberal Arts with Integrated Foundation incorporates an extra year of study to prepare you for your undergraduate degree. Once you have completed the foundation year, you will progress directly on to the three-year BA (Hons) Liberal Arts (Psychology) degree.  

The Psychology Major

The Psychology Major offers an in-depth examination of the scientific approach to human behaviour and experience.  

You will focus on core principles of psychology, covering topics such as sexuality, cultural differences and evolution. You’ll also learn how psychology applies to fields such as marketing, forensics, sport and fashion.  

You’ll have opportunities to undertake practical experiments using our specialist facilities. Your research findings will inform your understanding of different scientific theories and methodologies.  

Elective modules will help you understand the breadth of this discipline and also give you a broad skillset.   

Options to learn a language and study abroad at one of our international partners will help expand your learning and global outlook.   

This Major offers the perfect foundation if you are considering pursuing a professional career in psychology. It will also equip you with the transferable skills to work in fields such as education, social services, marketing, advertising and human resources.
