BSc Psychology

The BSc Psychology at London Metropolitan University is a three-year undergraduate course officially recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS). This recognition is key because it makes students eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), which is the first step to becoming a chartered psychologist. The programme will provide students with a broad understanding of various areas of psychology and teach them essential research skills.

In the first year, students will learn the basics of the subject. The second year explores more complex topics, including intelligence, creativity, and prejudice. In their final year, they can focus on a subject that they are interested in, such as forensic, work, counselling, or clinical psychology.

The course also teaches them many useful academic and professional skills for future jobs or further studies.
