BSc (Hons) Psychology

Study BSc (Hons) Psychology at Scotland’s Top Modern University for teaching and overall student satisfaction (NSS 2023).

Psychology is the scientific study of the most complex machine imaginable: the human mind. Study the science behind human behaviour, and tailor your studies to suit your interests on this flexible degree.

You’ll explore how actions, interactions, thoughts and feelings trigger our behaviours. Then you can put your learning into practice with an optional work placement, discovering how theory applies to real-life situations. This means you develop a wide breadth of expertise and skills. You’ll graduate with a deep understanding of how psychology impacts our everyday life and a set of valuable transferable skills.

Why Dundee?

Dundee is going through something of a cultural rebirth.

It was named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s hottest destinations, helped greatly by the £80m V&A Dundee, the stunning design museum, which opened its doors in 2018.

It’s an extremely friendly city, which is small enough to get from A to B by foot, but large enough to have great shopping and vibrant nightlife.

Dundee is a contemporary city full of energy and vision—it has one of the highest student population ratios in the UK—and it’s the perfect environment for a psychology student to learn their trade.
