START YOUR JOURNEY

Psychology shapes us as individuals, and our society - and is the reason behind many issues, such as why we think or have opinions on certain things, but also helps to improve our lives, where the effects of disability or injury are increasingly being understood and their effects are being mitigated, as the incredible pace of knowledge, research and technological advancement continues. Our internationally renowned academics and fantastic facilities at UEL, including VR and dedicated research labs, will allow you to experience and learn all about modern psychology in today's climate.

Study one of the most rewarding and fascinating areas of science, where you go on a journey through the human mind and explore what makes us tick, unlocking many important reasons behind what makes us who we are, including mental health, human behaviour, and brain development.

This course is perfect if you want a

British Psychological Society accredited degree in psychology, but you do not meet the standard entry requirements. First, we prepare you for your degree during the Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject - then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree.

I hadn't written an essay in 20 years, but the Foundation course taught me how to write at an academic level. As well as learning new skills, I was introduced to many classic psychology studies. I fell in love with psychology and academia during the course.
