Course overview

The BSc Psychology with Foundation Year at the University of Law allows students to develop their knowledge and understanding of discourses and practices in education, psychology, and counselling.

The Foundation Year will equip students with the necessary academic skills needed to progress to the undergraduate degree. Students will study a wide range of psychological areas, including biological, cognitive, social, and developmental psychology.
