What you will study
Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour, mental health and neuropsychological functioning. It seeks to understand what makes us who we are, how our minds work, and what influences our behaviour and social relationships.
Using a range of cutting-edge equipment, you will learn about core areas of psychology, research methods and statistics. You will also be able to tailor your degree by choosing your final-year modules and dissertation research topic. You can also pursue an optional Professional Training placement in a field relevant to your career aspirations.
Our BPS accredited course is informed by leading research conducted by our multidisciplinary research groups, including developmental psychology; environmental psychology; social emotions and equality in relations; health psychology; clinical interventions and practice; and the Surrey BabyLab.

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.

Our psychology students study a broad curriculum that develops a range of transferable skills, producing a well-rounded graduate who communicates well and has the analytical skills that many employers are keen to recruit.

Graduates of our BSc Psychology course are also eligible for chartered membership of the British Psychological Society.

Popular specialisms include clinical, counselling, health or occupational psychology, as well as other specialisms that do not require chartership such as social, environmental psychology or research methods. All of these are offered as postgraduate courses at Surrey.
Some graduates continue their interest in psychology by registering for a research degree (PhD, MPhil) in a specialist area of interest, leading to a career as an academic research psychologist.
