BSc Neuroscience with Psychology

University of Sussex

Course overview

The School of Psychology at the University of Sussex is one of the largest schools of psychology in the UK and a great choice for a BSc in Psychology with a focus on Neuroscience. This is a major/minor course, enabling you to study in depth in a core area (your major subject: taking up 75% of your time), while also exploring an additional area (your minor subject: taking up 25% of your time).

This course combines the study of human behaviour with the way the nervous system works. The core modules cover a wide range of psychology such as clinical, cognitive, social, health, forensic, neuroscience and child development psychology, and neuroscience aspects, and graduates will eventually have great skill in understanding the connection between the complex corridors of the human mind and the brain, and their influence on behavioural patterns.

The course will be taught through lectures, tutorials, seminars, laboratory and workshop practicals, and independent study. Students will be assessed using examinations, coursework, written assessments, practicals, and group work.
