BSc Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience
Course overview
The BSc Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience with Foundation Year at the University of Roehampton is an exciting four-year programme that explores the detailed link between the human brain and behaviour. The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), and students will use cutting-edge neuroscience tools, such as EEG and TMS, in the University's state-of-the-art facilities.
