BSc (Hons) Psychology

The BSc (Hons) Psychology programme offers theoretical knowledge and practical application of psychology to real world problems, and it is the only programme in Cyprus accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).

Students will learn about the mind and behaviour, enabling them to understand the way people act, react and interact. They will consider the roles of the brain and the nervous system upon behaviour, perception, mood and memory. The overall aims of the programme are to:

• Provide an up-to-date curriculum in psychology that emphasises the development of skills and knowledge related to the scientific and empirical aspects of the discipline;
• Provide choice and flexibility in the curriculum while maintaining those core aspects of the syllabus needed to secure British Psychological Society recognition;
• Foster the development of key skills that will facilitate further academic and vocational training and sub sequent employment;
• Provide students the opportunity to get involved in research, in collaboration with research active psychology faculty, thereby learning first-hand about the scientific method;
• Provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment that gives the opportunity to develop potential.

The programme also includes specialised optional modules which provide students the opportunity to concentrate on specific areas of study within the field of Psychology, including Forensic Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology. Furthermore, one of the most distinctive features of the programme is the Psychology Placement module that provides the opportunity to students to experience the application of psychology in a setting relevant to their degree.
