Why study Psychology at Bristol? The School of Experimental Psychology is a friendly environment and our staff are passionate about helping students to thrive during their time at Bristol. Our course has a fundamental emphasis on the experimental study of the mind and we want our students to share a sense of fun and adventure in psychological science. Our staff are experts who teach the latest developments in the field, based on the cutting- edge research that they and their colleagues are conducting. Over the course of the degree students become independent learners who can think for themselves. In the third year, students can tailor the course to their interests, choosing from about 20 seminar courses and undertaking a major research project of their choice. There is an active undergraduate psychology society.
The multidisciplinary and scientific nature of psychology means that you will develop an impressive range of transferable skills in quantitative analytical research, data handling and interpretation, critical evaluation, report writing, presentation and IT literacy.
Our degrees provide pathways to professional training in psychology and are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Graduate destinations also include a broad range of other sectors, including health, education, marketing, scientific and legal consultancy, banking and finance, human resources, media and the public sector.
