BSc Clinical and Community Psychology

The BSc Clinical and Community Psychology at the University of East London is a three-year full-time undergraduate degree. Students explore how mental health, societal factors, and community life affect people’s behaviour and wellbeing. The programme combines theory, research methods, and hands-on work with community partners and local services. It covers topics such as individual differences, psychobiology, social psychology, research methods, and professional practice. The course invites students to apply knowledge in real community or clinical settings. 

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), indicating that it meets the standards for training in psychology. The final year includes a significant research project and a core module in which students apply their knowledge in a practical context. Students are taught using lectures, seminars, practical workshops, skills labs, and placements within community or clinical settings. They will collect data, utilise software, reflect on their practice, and collaborate with others. Assessment includes coursework, lab reports, presentations, case studies, practical work, and the final research project.
