With a critical view of the world around us, our Psychology with Philosophy degree opens doors to investigate the human mind, people's emotions and behaviours. On this BPS-accredited* programme, you will cover a breadth of topics from social, cognitive, biological and developmental psychology, as well as fundamental topics in philosophy, ethics and logic.
Our integrated programme provides a grounding in the discipline of psychology, whilst delving into philosophical ideas, from ancient, Greek, Indian, Chinese and African philosophy. You will explore the philosophy of the mind and examine contemporary issues in science using logical and analytical skills.

At Keele, you will advance your professional skills as a researcher, psychologist and social scientist in the making. Whether you would like to pursue a career in psychology or related fields, our programme equips you with core skills in communication, problem-solving and analytical thinking to help prepare you for employment. You can broaden your horizons by studying abroad, learn a foreign language, or complete a work placement year for industry experience, and tailor your degree programme based on your future career aspirations.

Keele 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.
