The BSc Psychology in Education is an applied psychology degree using psychological research methods to understand and interpret social and human behaviour in the context of education.
As with our BSc Education Studies, education is conceptualised as lifelong and in many different contexts.
The British Psychological Society accreditation means that successful students are eligible to apply for professional training as a psychologist.
Students acquire valuable skills spanning two rapidly changing disciplines that inform each other. You will apply psychological theory and research to real-life educational settings involving children, young people, and adults.
The course currently includes an optional placement unit, Education in Practice, where you will have the opportunity to connect your academic learning with the practice of education on a placement within a school, community organisation, charity, museum, or other relevant organisation.
Lectures, workshops, seminars, discussions, guided independent study and tutorials offer a well-rounded, evidence-based and flexible basis for professional development. Seminars and workshop activities encourage you to collaborate with others, while individual and group presentations help you develop confidence in conveying your arguments and ideas.
A BSc in Psychology in Education offers undergraduates a diverse range of career opportunities that blend psychological principles with educational settings. Graduates can pursue roles in educational psychology, working with students to support learning and mental well-being or become child development specialists, helping to design educational programmes tailored to learning needs.
Other pathways include teaching, educational consultancy, and roles in not-for-profit organisations focusing on child well-being and advocacy. Graduates may also choose to further their studies, progressing into specialised areas such as counselling, research, or clinical psychology.
This course is available as a four-year degree, including a year studying in English at a partner institution overseas. To find out more, visit BSc Psychology in Education with Study Abroad.
