BSc (Hons) Psychology with Education

Explore the fascinating connection between psychology and education. On this unique degree, you’ll study how the mind works - and how that knowledge can shape teaching, learning, and child development. You’ll cover key areas of psychology, from cognition and development to social behaviour and neuroscience, alongside education topics such as policy, theory, and classroom practice.

It’s an ideal path if you’re interested in educational psychology, welfare and support roles in schools and communities. Real-world experience is built into the course. Through two substantial placements - in settings like schools, charities, or community groups – you’ll apply what you’ve learned in practical, hands-on ways.

This focus on employability helps prepare you for careers in education, pastoral care, welfare, or to go on to teacher training or further postgraduate study. The course is jointly taught by experts in both psychology and education, and you’ll complete a mix of modules from each discipline – giving you the best of both worlds. In your final year, you’ll carry out your own dissertation project, working with academic supervisors on a topic that really matters to you.

Graduates can go on to further study such as MA Education, MA SEND and Inclusion, or pursue professional routes like a Doctorate in Educational Psychology. If you're passionate about both psychology and making a difference in education, this is the course for you.
