From digital skills to strategic management, the course covers a wide range of topics. We’ve made sure each unit is taught by a real expert in the subject – whether that’s a financial whizz from our business school or a social psychologist from our psychology department.
But more important than the range of subjects, is the way they join up. This is one of the few courses in the UK dedicated to business psychology (not business and psychology), so everything is geared towards your future career.
Depending on your ambitions, you can also personalise the course with our optional units. Maybe you’re interested in coaching? Or passionate about diversity in the workplace? Choose subjects around your interests, and even complete your research project in that area.
You will enrol on the three-year course which will give you the flexibility when you start your studies to choose a year on placement or to study abroad, so you would complete your degree over four years if you chose this option.
Foundation year
This course has a foundation year available. For more information visit the foundation year page.
