Presentación

A Joint Honours degree gives you the opportunity to study two subjects as one degree. This type of degree will broaden your skill set and enhance your career prospects.

Psychology is the scientific study of human thought and behaviour. You can combine this course with a wide range of subjects, including Biology, Criminology, English, or Sociology. This allows you to keep your options open and study what you´re most interested in. You can choose to study psychology as a major, joint, or minor subject as part of your joint honours degree. Your decision will determine how many psychology modules you´ll study.

During the course you´ll gain a detailed understanding of the different areas of psychology including developmental, social, biological, cognitive, and health psychology. You can look at the applications of psychology to a wide range of areas, from understanding the nature and causes of mental health problems to investigating decision making in real life situations.

Requisitos

Our entry requirements are usually between 220-300 UCAS points*, of which at least 200-240 will be from your core A2s (full A levels) or equivalent qualifications such as BTEC Diploma, International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers etc.
We´ll accept up to 60 points towards the total from level 3 qualifications such as AS levels (where those AS levels are not taken on to A2 level), the Extended Project or Music qualifications.
We don´t accept points from Key Skills Level 3. If you have any questions about what is or isn´t accepted, please contact our Admissions team.
We also accept the Access to HE Diploma.
Your points at level 3 will be in addition to 5 GCSEs at grade C or equivalent level 2 qualifications.
*This will depend on which programme you´re combining this one with, for example most Joint Honours programmes require 260 points, but anything combined with Law will require 300 points.
The UCAS tariff points are a guide - we´ll also consider all the information that you´ve included in your application. We´ll also want to see that you´re enthusiastic and motivated to take this course and that you have the potential to benefit from coming to university.
