BSc in Psychology
Full-time 2019 entry
We cover all the core British Psychological society areas for accreditation – but allow you the choice to draw in relevant optional modules from across the University in areas such as business, biology, economics, sociology, philosophy or a language.
Course overview
You will have a combination of lectures, seminars and practical classes. Lectures will introduce you to a particular topic. During weekly seminars you will build on the knowledge theories and ideas from the lecture and readings, sharing your views about the topic and debating the issues. Seminars give you personal access to the tutor as well as the opportunity to voice your views in a smaller group.

False Memories
Many people believe that our memory works like a recording device that we can play back at any given time. Yet decades of science has shown that isn’t true. And did you know we can even have false thoughts implanted into memory?
Gambling Animals
Gamblers are more likely to take risks if a high-value reward is up for grabs. Dr Elliot Ludvig shares why he believes these actions are influenced by memories of previous winning bets.
Your degree credit will come from a mixture of examinations and assessed work.
A total of 40% of your degree credit will be based on second-year modules and 60% on third-year modules. The first year must be passed to progress onto the second year. Your third-year individual project will account for 25% of your final year marks.
In an interconnected world, employers greatly value an international perspective. Studying abroad provides you with a first-hand opportunity to explore how culture influences psychological processes and develop a range of valuable skills that give you a competitive advantage in the graduate market.
Our Department is part of the University’s large global network of exchange partners, with long-standing agreements with prestigious universities around the world.
A particularly popular Warwick option is with Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, acknowledged as one of the world’s top universities. Opportunities also exist in Brazil, China, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain and the USA.
For a full and current list of our partners see: warwick.ac.uk/studyabroad. Typically, when students choose to study abroad, they apply in their second year for a third year of study at a partner institution. Students then return to Warwick for their final year.
There are opportunities for work placements. These can be as part of an intercalated year (between the second and third year), in which students who find their own placements will be supported to take time out of study to work, or on Warwick Summer Internship programmes.
Our students can also take up a variety of work experience opportunities, both paid and unpaid, alongside their studies or during holidays.
