BSc Honours Psychology

The BSc (Honours) Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University is an undergraduate degree that teaches students the principles that guide human behaviour. This course combines theory and practice. Students will study the way the human mind and brain react to different environments, and what guides their thought processes. Additionally, they will learn from modules that explain how the human mind behaves and the most effective methods individuals can use to interact with others.

In this course, students undertake a placement year, especially in their third year, where they will work under psychological or clinical firms and other establishments. They will learn experimental psychology, forensic psychology, cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology, providing explanations for the matters arising in society. This is also a means of preparation for the workforce, making them one of the world’s greatest thought leaders. Graduates of this course have gone on to work in Health and Social Care, Human Resource Consultancy, Data Analysis, and Public Health. Ninety-five per cent of the graduates from Sheffield Hallam University have secured job roles fifteen months after graduation.

Learning in this course is achieved through visual resources, field trips, lectures, seminars, group discussions, brainstorming sessions, and preparatory classes. Assessment methods include presentations, assignments, periodic tests, and examinations.
