You'll gain broad, interdisciplinary knowledge of psychology, a deep understanding of specific areas including neuroscience-related units about the biological basis of human cognition and behaviour. 

Many of your lecturers are world leaders in their fields. You'll be exposed to cutting-edge research, often not yet seen in textbooks, giving you the very latest information on neuroscience, psychology and mental-health.
