BSc Psychology with Neuropsychology

Bangor University

Course overview

BPS officially accredits this three-year full-time BSc Psychology with Neuropsychology at Bangor University. The course focuses on the key connection between the brain, its processes, and human behaviour. Students specialise in understanding the structure of the central nervous system and how it controls thought, emotion, and perception. This specialism is key to studying situations such as stroke, head injury, and severe mental health problems.

Teaching is done by internationally recognised research experts, providing students with practical experience in modern facilities for brain scanning (fMRI) and measuring brain activity (EEG). Students get to handle a real human brain in led anatomy classes. The degree gets graduates ready for many professions and is the first step to becoming chartered psychologists.
