Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Psychology

About

Berlin School of Business and Innovation, in partnership with the University of Chichester, offers the BSc (Hons) Psychology programme. The BSc (Hons) Psychology degree offers a scientific exploration of the mind, brain, and behaviour, equipping you with analytical skills and practical experience to understand human actions and prepare for a wide range of careers. The BSc (Hons) Psychology programme is a three-year full-time programme giving students the opportunity for examining the biological, cognitive, developmental, individual difference and social psychological principles underlying everyday experience and behaviour and then investigating those psychological principles in contexts related to those in which professional psychologists work. The Bachelor’s in Psychology programme is designed to take students from an analysis of everyday functions and attendant important behaviours, through core discipline knowledge of theory and empirical findings relevant to those behaviours and others, to an appreciation and understanding of contexts in which psychology can be applied and professional psychologists’ work. This Psychology Bachelor’s programme sets psychological investigation and knowledge into everyday functions, and encourages students to ask what behaviours are involved in those functions, and how may those behaviours be explained using psychological constructs and methods of investigation. A questioning approach to behaviour is thus encouraged from year one. Practical and laboratory experience and skills development is embedded within this process, as is practical experience of research participation, thus linking the development of research and analytic skills to explaining behaviours relevant to everyday functioning and experiences. This approach is carried through to the final year where psychological knowledge is applied to contexts relevant to peoples’ lives and work.
