What this course is about
UCAS code: C800
Here's what Bangor University says about its Psychology course.
The BSc (Hons) Psychology, accredited by the BPS, covers the investigation of human behaviour from infancy to old age, examining the many factors that affect the human psyche. From our biology and physiology to sociological influences like parenting, socialisation, education, through to therapeutic approaches and techniques, such as mindfulness and counselling.
The broadest Psychology degree option we offer, you’ll learn how the body and brain work together to navigate our complex internal and external environment – how, why and what happens when these systems stop working so well, are damaged, or develop in divergent ways. For example, in the case of neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injuries, substance abuse, or the spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders.
Successful completion of this accredited Psychology degree confers eligibility for Graduate Membership of the BPS and the Graduate Basis for Registration, setting you on the path to becoming a Chartered Psychologist in any of the main psychological professions (clinical, educational, counselling, health, developmental, cognitive neuroscience, applied behaviour analysis).
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Psychology (with Foundation Year) C80F.

Bangor University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
