BSc Psychology with Business and Management

University of Sussex

Course overview

This full-time course lasts for three years and starts in September 2026. It brings together the study of psychology (how people think and behave) with important ideas from business and management. You will gain a good understanding of human actions and thoughts, and learn how these apply in a business environment. You will look at different psychology topics alongside basic business ideas, which is helpful for many jobs in companies.

The course allows you to pick from many different subjects, and experienced teachers will support you. You can use great research places like labs for studying child development and human body responses. This degree is also officially approved by the British Psychological Society (BPS), which means you are getting a top-quality psychology education.
