Welcome to the BA. (Hons) Psychology

The B.A. in Psychology emphasizes the fundamental principles of Psychology that can be applied to solve practical problems related to human behavior and society. You’ll gain a broad education in Psychology that is relevant to many fields, including counseling and therapy, social work, education, physical health and wellness, marketing and sales, law and forensics, environmental sustainability, and human resources. We focus on important societal problems such as detection of criminals and improvement of health outcomes. After introducing Psychology to you as a biological and social science, we’ll cover topics as diverse as brain functioning, child development, and social behaviour.
 Our focus is less on the scientific study and more on building skills that can be applied to a wide range of careers – from HR to marketing. You'll work practically from day one, receiving case studies, designing interventions and applying psychology to a wide range of contexts and job roles – developing skills in self-reflection, critical thinking, data analysis, listening, questioning, academic writing, problem solving and more.
